Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Dark[A]ness at the break of noon, shadows[Ab] even the silver spoon, [G]a handmade blade the child's balloon[Em],
[F#]eclipses both the sun and mo[F#m]on, don'[G]t understand you know too soon, th[A]ere is no su[D]ch thi[Eb]ng as tri al y[Em]et.[A]
Advertising signs,
they con [E]you into [Ab]thinking you're [Am]the one
[G]That can do what's never been [Em]done
[F#]That can win what's [Em]never
been [D]won[G]
Meantime, life outside [A]goes on
[D]All [Ebdim]around you[Em]
[A]Some win victories, some downfall
[Ab]Private reason[E]s, great or [Abdim]small
[G]Can be seen in the eyes
of those that [Em]call
[F#m]To make all that should be killed to crawl
[G]While others say[Em], don't hate nothing at all
[A]Excep[D]t hat[Eb]red, no[Em]
[A]Temptation pages fly out the door
[Am]You foll[E]ow, find yourself a [Am]door
[G]Watch waterfalls of pity roar
[F#m]You feel th[F#]e moan, but unli[F#m]ke before
[G]You dis[Em]cover you just be one more
[A]One [D]more per[A]son cryin'[Em]
No more, -ha -ha -ha -ha.
[A]Words work like bullets,
Bach,
While [Em]hu man gods ai[Am]m for their ma[G]rks.
[Em]They make everything from
toy guns that spark
[F#m]To flush -colored
Christ that glow in the dark.
[Em]It's easy to see without lookin' too far,[A]
Not [D]much is [Em]really sacred, no more, no more,
ah [A]-ha -ha -ha [Em]-ha -ha.[A][Ab][G]
[F#m][F#][D][G][Em][G][A][D][Eb][Em]
[A]Preachers preach of evil fates,
[Abaug]Teachers teach that know[Ab]ledge waits,[E]
[Em]Can lead to hunger -dollar plays
[F#m]For goodness' sakes, behind its gates
[G]But even the
Presid[Em]ent of the
United
[A]States
Some[D]times [Ebdim]must
have to [Em]stand naked
It's alright,
Ma
It's alright,
Mama
I'm on trial
It's alright,
Mama, [D]now[Em]
[A]Mama, [Em]it's [A]alright[Em]
[A]It's [Em]alright,
Mama
[A]Mama, [Em]it's alright
[A]It's [Em]alright,
Mama
[A]It's [Em]alright, now
It's alright,
Mama
[A]Mama, [Em]it's alright
[A]It's [Em]alright,
Mama
[A]Mama, [Em]it's all right
[A]It's [Em]all right, mama, mama[A], mama
[Em]It's all right, mama
[A]Mama, [Em]mama, mama
Don't [A]worry, [Em]mama
[A]I'm only trying,
[Em]Mama[A], it's[Em] all right
You're doing all right, mama
[Em]Mama, mama
