Mother Earth and Tracy Nelson - Rare Footage from 1969 in Nashville chords
Start Jamming...
Country music [D] is so pretty and clean and simple and [Gm] yet it says something that's relevant to the average [G] young [G] person's life.
You know, more relevant than [F] singing about being down in the Delta, [G] you know, down in the levee and things like that.
Where did the name come from, Mother Earth?
Uh, [Cm] Memphis Slim, you know who he is?
He had a [G] song called Mother Earth that we recorded on our first album.
[Em] It was a 12 bar blues.
And the organist one day said, well, you know, Mother Earth, that's a good [Ab] name for a group, [Bb] you know.
Yeah?
This is our new single.
[G] Wait, Wait, Wait.
[Bb]
[D] [Eb]
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb]
[Bb] [Cm] Wait, wait, [Bb] wait, there's something I [G] forgot [F] to tell [Cm]
[F] you.
[Cm] Wait, [Dm] wait, [Eb] wait, there's something I [Bb] have to say.
Baby, I wasn't everything I [Am] was supposed to [D]
be.
[Gm] Wait [Bb]
a minute, [Eb] oh, [Cm] before you leave, [Bb] I just wait,
[D] wait, [Eb] and I thank you to know
[Bb] There's going to be changes, [D] baby, [Eb] like never before.
[Bb] [D]
I'm gonna [Eb] love, [Bb] I'm gonna please [D]
you, [Eb] baby.
Oh, you know [Gm] I'm gonna love, [D]
love, [Eb] love, love you.
So [Bb] please wait,
[D] wait, give me just [Eb] one more day.
[Bb] Make these changes, baby, [Eb] and I'll hold that flame.
[Bb] I said wait, please [Eb] wait, I said [Ab] wait, [Bb] please wait, wait, [Eb] wait, please.

[E] I [E] know
[A] I
[Gb] [A] [Em] should [D] leave, but then I
[Gb] [A] just
[D] [E]
keep knowing when [A] I can.
