_ _ _ Oh, [A] Mother Earth, _ _ _ _ [D] they have made so many [E] _ scars upon [F#m] your face, _ _ _ _ _ [C#] and the beauty you [F#m] once had
can [D] never be replaced.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ Long [C#m] before our birth, _ _ _ _ [D] you were pounded [E] by the meters from [F#m] the sky, _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] but you did not die.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Now the ones [E] that you have [A] loved are taking you [F#m] for granted. _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] Yeah, they're so enchanted _ _ _ [G]
[D] by the progress they [E] can make. _
[D] They never stop to [E] think just [C#m] how much that [F#m] you can take. _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ Mother Earth, _ _ _ _ take us back to [E] when the [C#m] proud ones lived. _ _
_ They [D] only took what you [E] would give. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ Mother [A] Earth, _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] tonight before [E] I lay my [F#m] body down, _ _ _ _ _ [C#] I'll pray to [F#m] the Lord that a way can [E] be found. _ _
_ [A] And [E] if bad _ [C#m] goes to _ worse, _ _ _ _
[D] Lord, help [E] me try to [F#m] do my best _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] until once again,
[D] Mother Earth, _
[E] you [F#m] hold [E] me to [D] _ _
[A] your breast.
