[Verse 1]
[G]I was standing b[Em]y my win[G]dow
No [C]longer than [G]yesterday
Then [Em]I saw[G] the postman
coming up [Em]the path[D]way,
yes, up the pathway, he rang [G]the bell,
I opened the [Em]door,[G]
Then he [C]reached into his [G]bag
[Em]Then [G]he gave, gave me [Em]a lett[D]er,
it's [G]in [C]black[G][Em]
[D]Mad[G]e wit[Em]h hand, tr[G]embling ha[Em]nd,[G]
I took the [C]letter, the letter it [G]read
It [Em]said, come [G]home,
come [Em]home my [D]son
Your mother [G]is gone,
[C]gone on her [G]end[Em]
[G]Yes, [Em]friends,
[C]I bound my head in sadness
When I [G]opened [Em]the
[G]let[Em]ter and rea[G]d
[Em]Yes, [D]I b[G]ow [D]my[C]
head in sadness
Since I [D]heard poor [Em]mother's gone [D]ahead
See [Bm]that [D]pos[G]tman,
[Em]taught me that [G]ladder
[Em]The [G]light of my [C]life, now has fled[G]
[Em]I'm [G]comin' hom[Em]e,
[G]com[Em]in' on hom[D]e
But mother [G]is gone, [C]oh mother is [G]gone
