[Em] [G] Mother don't worry I killed the last snakes that lived in the creek bed
[Em] [G] Mother don't worry I've got some money to save for the weekend
[Em] [A] Mother remember [G] me and so stand that girl who's with me
[E] Mother remember [G] Blink of an eye when I breathe through [D] your body
[C] So may [G] the sun rise, bring hope where it once was forgotten
[Em] Suns are like birds [G] flying upwards over the mountain
Mother I made it up on the bruised old floor of this prison
Mother I lost it all with the fear of the Lord I was given
Mother forget me now that good grief drank the cradle you sank to
Mother forgive me I sought to call for the shield that I gave [Em] you
[C] So may the [G] sun rise, bring hope where it once was forgotten
[Em] [C] Suns can be birds [G] taking broken love to the mountain

[Em] Mother [G] don't worry I've got a co- and some friends on the corner
Mother don't worry she's got [G] a garden we're planting together
[Em] [C] Mother remember the [G] night that the dog had her pups in the pantry
Blood on the floor, fleas on their paws and you cried till the morning

So may the [G] sun rise, bring hope where it once was forgotten
[Em] Suns are like birds flying always
