[Intro 1]
[Am][A][Am]

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh [Am]Mother,
I hear you [A]calling [D]in my philosophy
[A]I h[Am]ear your voice [D]in my fi[Gm]ght w[Bb]ith the devil,[C]
whoever that [D]is
[Am]And man's [A]held the worst thing,
as [D]you've always [A]said
It's the [G]lies, it's the [Bb]lies, it's the [C]lies
[G]It's the lies, it's the [Bb]lies,
it's [C]the lies
Mother[Am], I hear you sti[A]ll read
[D]all three books a [A]week
An[Am]d I know that ev[D]erything
you [Gm]did [Bb]is true
It's all [C]true, whatever that [D]is
[Am]And after so m[A]any years
of a [D]straight diet of [A]truth
Let it [G]shine, [Bb]shine, let it [C]shine
Like old diogenes [G]shine
Let [Bb]your light [C]shine
[D]So they got you slowed [Am]down now
With your [C]funny foot and your [G]cane[Gm]
[D]You treated it yoursel[Am]f, Lord
Wrapped it [C]in cabbage and [Bb]honey[C]
[D]Which makes you a cha[Am]racter
For [C]one of my [G]songs
[Gm]Neve[D]r let it be said
[A]That you [Am]don't know how to
[C]work with [Bb]me[C]
[D]You've always been [Am]a fighter
From [C]little Marlies to [G]biting [Gm]Nicky
[D]So when the pastor [Am]told you
That Indian ba[C]bies were going [Bb]to hell
Well, [Gm]well
You knew you had to find your own way
To talk to your [F]God
And you [Gm]always found your own way
Through the churches of [F]God
And the [Gm]animals salute you, adore you
And they would have [F]a place
In [Gm]the kingdom of here and now
And they would have [F]a place
So [Gm]you c[F]are for them
like you [E]care for your children
[Am][A][D][G][Am][D]
Oh, [Am]Mother, the kingdoms un[A]folded
through [D]stories an[A]d song
[Am]We watched as pu[D]ppets
[G]came [Bb]alive in [C]your hands
[Am]You carr[A]ied through the world
my [D]sweet brother [A]Ben
Who [G]gave us our [Bb]mon sters to l[C]ove
Yes, who [G]gave us our [Bb]monsters to [C]love
[D]Can't you slow it [Am]down now?
It's just a [C]funny funny natural [G]thing[Gm]
[D]To help you play the par[Am]t now
Of an [C]80 year old
Always [G]walkin', story -talkin' all the [D]time
I got you slowed [Am]down now
Just [C]a funny puppet, not [G]your man[Gm]
[D]To help you play the [Am]part now
Of an [C]80 -year -old
Always [G]walkin',
story -talkin' all [C]the time
dear, [G]why you cookin' mother
[Am]to dogs?[G#][Bb]
Mammal [E]an d dogs
[A]
