 Mother, mother take good care
        C majorC        E minor 7Em7    G+G
Cause there are dagger shards of glass out there
       C majorC          E minor 7Em7      G+G

It's hard to find a place to stand

 Mother, mother take good care
       C majorC      E minor 7Em7         D MajorD        G+G
I'm sure you know by now how many things get broken out there
        C majorC        E minor 7Em7       G+G
And when you're sending off your bare foot little girl
A minorAm     G/BG/B       C majorC  D/F#D/F#
 Won't you say a prayer for her?


🎸 Chorus:
      E minorEm       D/F#D/F#
But you can hold onto your cross

Get down on your knees
       C/GC/G  E minorEm
Pray to your Jesus
           D/F#D/F#    G+G
But he packed his suitcase long ago
       C majorC    G+G    D/F#D/F#
Threw up his hand and thus he spoke
       G+G
"It's just no use
     C majorC
All of my love can't cure these blues
     E minor 7Em7
I'm going south
     D/F#D/F#    G+G
Where the sun shines, south"

         C majorC        E minor 7Em7        D/F#D/F#
Cause all they're handing out are tickets to nowhere
G+G       C majorC        E minor 7Em7      D/F#D/F# A minorAm
So teach your daughter how to be all she can be
      G/BG/B         C majorC   D/F#D/F#
And how to cry when it don't come easy

"It's just no use
     C majorC
All of my love can't cure these blues
     E minor 7Em7
I'm going south
     D/F#D/F#    G+G
Where the sun shines, south"


🎸 Bridge:
  A minorAm        E minorEm
And who'll carry the blame
        G+G
Who's going to take up the campaign
D/F#D/F#         Am7Am7          E minor 7Em7
The politicians in command are washing their hands

They've got to tend the marching band
