Your Mother - Rita Wilson

Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: A Verse: A She used to climb out of the window Friday nights D Dsus2 To meet a boy and drink a beer or two A She used to wear short skirts and tops that were too tight D I could be wrong, pretty sure her parents never knew F#m F#m7 That she got sad sometimes E Didn’t know just what she had sometimes D She burned some bridges and she crossed some lines Esus4 But that’s just what young girls do

Pre-Chorus: E A She wasn’t always your mother F#m7 She had a life yet undiscovered D Every scar and every bruise Every love she had to lose Esus4 It brought her here to you Chorus: E A I know it’s hard for you to see F#m7 F#m There was someone else she used to be D If you listen you will learn Every time the seasons turn E E That you’ll never have another F#m D F#m7 E D Your mother Verse: A She was terrified She cried the day she brought you home D This perfect little person A She held you through the night Knew she’d never be alone D But she was fragile and uncertain F#m7 That she would get it wrong E Only wanted to protect you from all the harm D Cuz this world is bound to hurt you and you must be strong E Cuz that’s what she had to do Pre-Chorus: A So she grew to be your mother F#m7 Didn’t break when she discovered D That she didn’t know it all She’d make mistakes and she would fall E But she would be okay Chorus: E A I know it’s hard for you to see F#m7 F#m There was someone else she used to be D If you listen you will learn Every time the seasons turn E E That you’ll never have another A A Your mother Bridge: D E Oh when she goes F#m Time will show E D E That everything you know F#m E She taught you D E Oh when she’s gone F#m E Like the words of a song D Dm Her love has brought you home Chorus: A She will always be your mother F#m Looking down from up above ya D And when you’re a mother too Your daughter does the same to you E You’ll close your eyes and you will hear her A I know it’s hard for you to see F#m There is someone else you’re gonna be D If you listen you will learn Every time the seasons turn E That you’ll never have another Outro: F#m E D Your mother mm mm F#m E D Your motheeer mm mm A Your mother
