OCh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my heaAm7d  
Fand Gas I cClimb into an empty bed
oh well, eAm7nough said
FI Gknow it's oFver still I cliGng
I dEmon't know where else I can Ggo, motherF          G 


Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
do you think you can help me?

Sad veiled bride, please be happy
handsome groom, give her room
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
although she needs you more than she loves you


And I know it's over
still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
it's over, it's over, it's over

I know it's over
and it never rFeally began
Bbut in my heart Fit was sGo real  Am  
Fand you eGven spoke to me and said:  F  G 


"If you're so funny
then why are you on your own tonight?
and if you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very entertaining
then why are you on your own tonight?
if you're so very good looking
why do you sleep alone tonight?
 I know because toCnight is just like any other night
 that's why you're on your oAm7wn tonight  F   G 
 with your triCumphs and your charms
 while thAm7ey are in each other's arms"

FIt's so eaGsy to lauFgh
it's so easy to haGte
it takes streFngth to be gentle and kGind    F9+        G 

it's over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
it's so easy to hate
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
it's over, over, over

Love is natural and real
but not for you, my love
not tonight my love
FloGve is nCatural and rFeal
Gbut nFot for such as Gyou and I, myEm love

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
