Chord/Tab song: Mother

[A]Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my [G] [F]knees
Cause I belong to the ground [G]now
And it belongs to [A]thee
And oh lord, won't you
leave me, leave me just like [G] [F]this
Cause I belong to the ground [G]now
I want no more than [A]this
How I long for the autumn, the sun keeps burning [G] [F]deep
Every stone in this [G]city keeps reminding [A]me, oh!
Can you protect me from what [G]I [F]want?
The love I let in, it [G]left me so lost
 
[A]Mother, [G]make me
[F]Make me a [Dm]big tall tree
[A]So I can [G]shed my [F]leaves and let it [Dm]blow through me
[A]Mother, [G]make me
[F]Make me a [Dm]big grey cloud
[A]So I can [G]rain on [F]you things I can't say [G]out [A]loud
[G] [F] [G]
[A]All these couples are kissing
and I can't stand the [G] [F]heat
I lost my shoes and left the [G]party
I wander in the [A]street
I put my feet into the
fountain, the statues all [G] [F]asleep
No use wishing on the [G]water
It grants you no relief
 
[A]Mother, [G]make me
[F]Make me a [Dm]bird of prey
[A]So I can [G]rise [F]above this, let it [Dm]fall away
[A]Mother, [G]make me
[F]Make me a [Dm]song so sweet
[A]Heaven [G] [F]trembles, fallen at our [A]feet
[G] [F] [G] [A] [G] [F] [G]
[A]Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my [G] [F]knees
Cause I belong to the ground [G]now
And it belongs to [A]thee
And oh lord, won't you leave
me, leave me just like [G] [F]this
Cause I belong to the ground [G]now
I want no more than this
[A]Oh lord, won't you leave me, [G]leave me on my [F#m]knees
Cause I belong to the ground [G]now
And it belongs to [A]thee
And oh lord, won't you leave
me, [G]leave me just like [F#m]this
Cause I belong to the ground [G]now
I want no more than this
