Mother And Father Accoustic chords by BROODS

So acoustically anyway, Broods play this in the key of B.

I'm not sure of the chord name, but if you play the B on the 7th fret and leave the 1st and 2nd strings open
during the chorus, it gives it that really nice dissident sound. The E minors here are basically just bass
notes to assist with the transition from B to G#m, and can be added and removed as you see fit.


Intro (and basically the whole song): B Em G#m Em B...

B         (Em)    G#m    (Em)
...The nights are getting shorter
B             G#m  Em
...I don't know where they go
B        G#m
...I am getting older
B              G#m
...And it's starting to show
         (Em)   B
And ever since I left my mother
          G#m
It's much harder to know
          B
How to make my own life here
          G#m
How to make my own home

Chorus:
Em           B
I don't wanna wake up lonely
        (Em)    G#m
I don't wanna just be fine
            B
I don't wanna keep on hoping
            G#m
Forget what I had in mind
(Em)           B
I don't wanna wake up lonely
            G#m
I don't wanna just be fine
            B
I don't wanna keep on hoping
            G#m
Forget what I had in mind
  Em           B
Forget what I had in mind



   B                     G#m
I remember the time when a kiss on the hand was enough
     B                         G#m
'Cause we knew we were free and we knew what it meant to be loved
         (Em)    B
But ever since I left my father
         G#m
It's much harder to know
          B
How to live my own life here
          G#m
When all I need is home

[Repeat chorus]




And so on. Sorry, I don't normally post these, but this song is freaking great and wanted to post the acoustic
version. Feel free to post corrections
