[Verse 1]
[C]Mother,
oh [Em]mother
[E]I j[Em]ust w[Am]rote a new song
[C]For the white birds to the mad[Em] men[E]
I just [Am]texted a new [C]sound
Mother, oh [Em]mother,
I kept [Am]singing all my [C]songs
For young Curtis and Kurt [Em]Co bain
[E]Even [Am]though sometimes it feels [C]wrong
Come back to [Em]me, Fathe[Am]rland[C]
Before you [Em]preach us to [Am]sail[C]
Come back to [Em]me, d[Am]ear Mother L[C]iz
Before you [Em]see this,
[Am]come to my [C]bed[Em][E][Am][A][Am][C]
Mother, oh [Em]Mother
[E]I kept w[Am]histling like a b[C]ird
And just trying to give [Em]hope
[E]to the [Am]people in re[C]turn
There's a secret hiding inside
[Em]I will never r[Am]eally confide[C]
Tell me how am I supposed to [Em]know
[E]How to [Am]get here, the end of the [C]song
Come back to [Em]me, f[Am]atherland
[C]Be fore you [Em]breed us the [Am]same[C]
Come back to [Em]me, d[Am]ear [C]fatherland
Before you [Em]steal,
[Am]come to [C]me[Em][Am][C][Em][Am][C]
There's a secret hiding inside
[Em]I will never[Am] really confide[C]
Tell me how am I supposed to [Em]know
How to [Am]get you in the end
of the [C]show
There's a secret hiding in[Em]side
I will [Am]never really con[C]fide
Tell me how am I supposed to [Em]know
How to [Am]get you to the end of the s[C]how
[Em]How to get y[Am]ou to the
end of the [C]show[Em]
How to [Am]get you to the end
of the [C]show[Am][Em]
It's to [Am]get you to the end of the [C]road
[Em]It's[C] hard [Em]to get y[Am]ou to the end of the[C]
[Em]road[Am][C][Em][Am][C][Em]
[Am]I've been here before,
[C]I've been here before
