Guitar chords with lyrics
- Difficulty: Beginner 👶
🎸 Verse 1:
Dm7 C
Mother, there’s a memory
Em D
That’s recently returned to me
Dm7 C
It took me to a river
G
It taught me how to swim
Dm7 C
When my legs grew tired
Em D
It sang for me a lullaby
Dm7 C
To help me catch my breath
G
How did it go again?
🎸 Chorus:
C
The moon is new
Em
The wood is dark
F Em
The sun has died
F Em
I am here my darling dear
D G
Come sit by mother’s side
C
The stars are black
Em
The air is still
F Em
The sky is wide
F C
I am here, my darling dear
G C
Don’t worry, dry your eyes
🎸 Verse 2:
Dm7 C
Mother, it occurred to me
Em D
The lesson of this memory
Dm7 C
To swim against the current
G
I’ll never learn to float
Dm7 C
Mother, oh this tragedy
Em D
My life has made a mess of me
Dm7 C
With all this wasted energy
G
I could have built a boat
🎸 Chorus:
C
The moon is new
Em
The wood is dark
F Em
The sun has died
F Em
I am here my darling dear

Come sit by mother’s side

The air is still

The sky is wide

I am here, my darling dear

🎸 Bridge:
C
Mother, oh my life feeds off me
C G
People can’t be trusted
C
And we have to fight to stay alive
C G
We’ll always be the enemy, oh
C Fm
Eye for eye, and limb for limb
C Fm
The blood that I’ve been swimming in, oh
C
Mother, I’ve grown tired of this

Mother, I’ve grown tired of this
C F
There’s beauty and there’s empathy

I hid my heart, and stayed inside

Instead of moving with the tide, oh

Mother, I’ve grown tired of this

Mother, I’ve grown tired of this
C Dm Cmaj7
Mother, I’ve grown tired of this

Mother, I’ve grown tired of this

I’m tired of this
