Am, Fmaj7, Am, Fmaj7Fmaj7

A minorAm
My mother loved it so she said

Sad eyed pearl and drop lips
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Glancing pierce through writer man

Spoke hushed and frailing hips
  A minorAm
Her old eyes skim in creasing lids

A augmentedA tear falls as she describes
 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Approaching death with a yearning heart

With pride and no despise
C majorC        Cmaj7Cmaj7
Hot tears flow as she recounts
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
Her favorite worded token
 A minorAm
Forgive me please for hurting so

Don't go away heartbroken no

A minorAm
Just wise owl tones no velvet lies

Crush her velvet call
  Fmaj7Fmaj7
Oh Marlene suffer all the fools

Who write you on the wall
  A minorAm
And hold your tongue about your life

Or dead hands will change the plot
   Fmaj7Fmaj7
Will make your loving sound like snakes

Like you were never hot
C majorC        Cmaj7Cmaj7
Hot tears flow as she recounts

Forgive me please for hurting so

Don't go away heartbroken no
