Chord/Tab song: Mother of God

Standard Tuning

[C] [G] [C]
[C]All you kids get out the back door, I've [F]never seen her this mad before

She [C]took all her favorite things down from the window

And [G]broke them all over her clean floor

It's [C]Saturday at the mansion, the [F]oldest boy walks with a slouch

The [C]young ones are wild in back of the house

And she [G]gave up and went back to [C]sleep on the couch

[F]Something as simple as boys and [C]girls

Gets [G]tossed all around and lost in the [Am]world

[F]Something as hard as a prayer on your [C]back

Can wait a [G]long time for an [Am]answer

When I was little I'd stare at her picture
And talk to the mother of God
I swear sometimes I'd see her lips move
Like she was trying to say something to me
When I was eighteen I moved to Florida
Like everyone sick of the cold does
And I waited on old people waiting to die
Oh, I waited on them until I was

Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer

[C] [G] [F] [C] [G]
[C] [G] [F] [C] [G] [C]
Now I'm wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I won't live here anymore
And someone will wonder who lived here before
And went on their way
I live too many miles from the ocean
And I'm getting older and odd
I get up every morning with my cup of coffee
And I talk to the mother of God

Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and lost in the world
Something as har as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer
Can wait a long time for an answer

[F] [G] [F] [G]
[F]Maybe it's a[G]lright, [F]maybe we won't fight [G]anymore

[F]Maybe love is [G]waiting at the [Am]end of [G]every [F]road[G]

I don't [F]know, I don't [G]know

And [F]maybe, maybe it's [G]alri[F]ght[G][F][G]

[F] [G] [Am] [F] [G]
