Chords for Since Dear Mother Died --- Chad Morgan.wmv

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ Oh, over the plains I [G] keep riding, _
_ [A] Through the vast open [D] spaces I ride, _
[A] _ _ [Dm] But the tears in my heart I'm [G] not hiding, _
_ Still [A] I shed them since [Em] dear mother _ [D] died.
_ _ The days and the nights are [G] so lonely,
_ _ _ [A] Since I got that [C#] terrible [D] fright,
_ _ _ When poor mother snuffed out [G] one morning,
_ _ [A] After slopping up whiskey [D] all night.
_ _ _ Then as we stood round at the [G] _
graveside,
_ The [A]
parson dropped dead [E] on the [D]
job,
_ _ _ He took a dive straight down [G] the hole, boys,
_ And [A] we left him there, [E] so help me [D]
Bob.
_ _ _ Yes, over the plains I [G] keep riding,
_ _ Through [A] the vast open [B] spaces I [D] ride,
_ _ But the tears in my heart I'm [G] not hiding,
_ _ Still [A] I shed them since dear mother [D]
died.
_ _ _ From her mother _ always would [G] save me,
_ [A] I miss all the [Bm] rides [D] in the pram,
_ _ The castor oil weekly [G] she gave me,
_ _ [A] And slices of raspberry _
[D] jam.
_ _ Now I've no one to do all [G] my sewing,
_ It's [A] no wonder at times I [D] have cried,
_ _ The holes in me pants are all [G] growing,
_ _ I [A] walk sideways since dear mother [D]
died.
_ _ _ I now have to cook my [G] own dinner,
_ _ _ [A] My ulcers are six [D] inches wide,
_ _ _ The rest of me's getting [G] much thinner,
_ _ Not the [A] same life since dear mother [D]
died.
_ _ _ So over the plains I [G] keep riding,
_ _ Through [A] the vast open spaces [D] I ride,
_ _ _ But the tears in my heart I'm [G] not hiding,
_ _ Still [A] I shed them since [G] dear [A]
mother _ [D] died.
