Oh mother I'm scared to die

Where, where do my good deeds lie

Cause it rings in the day
C majorC
And it rings in the evening
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Oh I could pray but it won?t stop you leaving
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Shadow in black you are grim from your reaping
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Oh can?t you spare just a day for the weeping
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Oh can?t you spare just a day for the weeping
