🎸 Verse 1:
G        C                Em7   G
 Mother, mother take good care
                C                Em7       G
Cause there are dagger shards of glass out there
             C                    Em7            G
The ones who wear the shoes don't seem to give a damn

It's hard to find a place to stand

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


🎸 Chorus:
            Em             D/F#
But you can hold onto your cross
                 G
Get down on your knees
             C/G   Em
Pray to your Jesus
                      D/F#       G
But he packed his suitcase long ago
             C        G       D/F#
Threw up his hand and thus he spoke
              G
"It's just no use
          C
All of my love can't cure these blues
          Em7
I'm going south
          D/F#        G
Where the sun shines, south"


🎸 Verse 3:
G       C                Em7  D/F#  G
Mother, mother take good care
                  C               Em7               D/F#
Cause all they're handing out are tickets to nowhere
G             C               Em7            D/F#  Am
So teach your daughter how to be all she can be
           G/B                 C      D/F#
And how to cry when it don't come easy


🎸 Chorus:
            Em             D/F#
But you can hold onto your cross
                 G
Get down on your knees
             C/G   Em
Pray to your Jesus
                      D/F#       G
But he packed his suitcase long ago
             C        G       D/F#
Threw up his hand and thus he spoke
              G
"It's just no use
          C
All of my love can't cure these blues
          Em7
I'm going south
          D/F#        G
Where the sun shines, south"


🎸 Bridge:
    Am               Em
And who'll carry the blame
               G
Who's going to take up the campaign
D/F#                  Am7                    Em7
The politicians in command are washing their hands
G                       D/F#
They've got to tend the marching band


🎸 Chorus:
           Em             D/F#
So you can hold onto your cross
                 G
Get down on your knees
             C/G   Em
Pray to your Jesus
                      D/F#       G
But he packed his suitcase long ago
             C        G       D/F#
Threw up his hand and thus he spoke
              G
"It's just no use
          C
All of my love can't cure these blues
          Em7
I'm going south
          D/F#        G      D/F#  G  C  Em7  D/F#  G
Where the sun shines, south"

Cause there are dagger shards of glass out there
             C                    Em             D    G
The ones who wear the shoes don't seem to give a damn
             C               Em
It's hard to find a place to stand
             D               G
It's hard to find a place to stand
             C               Em7
It's hard to find a place to stand
             D               G
It's hard to find a place to stand
             C               Em7
It's hard to find a place to stand
