Mother No Longer Awaits Me At Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]One[F#] night, w[G]hile the moon from
[C]Heaven [G]was shin[F#]ing
[G]My mother was praying for
[F#]me to [D]come home[G]
[F#]She asked her dear lord: "Watch
[G]ove[F#]r me [C]out yond[G]er
To send me back home to
never more roam."

[Verse 2]
When I [F#]left my [G]old home way
[B]back in the mountain[F#]s[G]
I said I'd [F#]re tu[G]rn w[F#]ith honor an[D]d fame[G]
[F#]But a young reckless h[G]eart turned
[C]wrong [G]at the crossroads
And now as I go home,
I [D]bring mother [G]shame
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[D][G]
When I [F#]got to the place where
[C]I spent [G]my childhood
The silvery moon was [D]shining [G]so bright
[F#]When I asked my dear friends
[G]to tel[C]l me of [G]mother
[F#]They [G]said she was called
[F#]on to Heav[D]en last nigh[G]t
[F#]She

[Verse 4]
[G]told [F#]them of how [G]she
was [C]longing [G]to see me
How lonely [F#]her home[G]
since [D]I w[G]ent away
Said, "Darling,
[F#]repent [G]and[C] ask for forg[G]iveness
[F#]And meet mother ther[G]e in
[F#]heaven [G]some day."[F#]

[Verse 5]
Mother has gone to [B]live with the an[F#]gels
Her soul is at rest around the great throne
Now I have no one left [C]here to [G]ad vise [F#]me
For [G]mother [F#]no longer [G]awa[F#]its me at hom[F#]e
