[Intro 1]
[A][G][A][Em][A][G][A][Em][A][Em][A][Em][A][D][A]
[Em]
[G][A][Em][G][Em][A]
[Em]You can't make mother

[Verse 1]
cry
[A]You can't mak[Em]e her twist
her ragged [D]hair[A][E]
[Em]You can't make mother groan
[A]Even when her[Em] soldier sonny
shakes his iron cocktail [D]in the air...
[A]You[E] ca[Em]n't make mother cry
[A]You can[Em]'t mak[C]e her give consen[Em]t
[D]Tho[A]ugh[E] sh[Em]e flounders
at [A]the drainboard
Though [Em]her back [C]be down
[Em]there [D]and bent[A]
If sleeping brings relief
She can [Asus4]go lie[A]
down and [Asus4]slumber[D][A]
If sleeping [Asus4]brings re[A]lief
She can [Asus4]go lie do[A]wn and slumber
[Asus4]If sleepi[A]ng brings relief
She can [Asus4]go... lie[A] down
[Asus4]and slumber...
[A]Slumber[Em][G][A][G][A][Em][A][G]
[A][D][A][Em][A][Em][A][Em][A]
[Em]
She puts her hands down into [G]the sink
[A]Scrapes the grunge up
off the [Em]bottom
Down there beneath the dishes
[A]Where the knives lie crossed
[Em]and waiting
She can't stop the kiddies talking
[A]Their tongues be loosed
upon the [Em]world
They flap until they lather
[G]For[A] the agony of mil[D]lions[A]
And if sleeping brings relief
They can go lie down and slumber
And if sleeping brings relief
They [Asus4]can go lie[A]
down and slum[Asus4]ber
[A]And if sleeping brings relief
They can... [Asus4]go lie
[A]down and slumber
[D]Slumber...[A][Asus4][A][Em][G][A][G][A][D][A][Em]
[G][A][G][A][Em][A][D][A][G][A][G][A]
And there be no release from anguish
For this slapstick [G]generation
[A]And there be no peace for all the kiddies
[G]'Cause they're too[A]
satisfied to care
And the field of gorgeous bodies
Primed and ready in the [D]sun[A][D]
[A]And the white fla[Bm]g of peace
That is hanging
[A]Limp and useless in the air...
And the white flag of peace
That is hanging
Limp and useless in the [D]air, [A]yeah![Em][G][A][Em][G]
[Em][G][A][Em][G][Em][G][A][Em]
[G][Em][G][A]
And if sleeping brings relief
You can all go lie down and slumber
And if sleeping brings relief
You can [G]go [A]lie down
and slumber...

[Outro 1]
Slumber...
[A][G]
