[Verse]
             C    
Mother don't worry
             G                                     
I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed
             G    
Mother don't worry
              G                            
I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Em7 G        C                 G                                   
■   ■ Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me


[Chorus]
       G                                                            
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathe through your body
Em7            C       G         
■   So may the sunrise bring hope
                  G        
Where it once was forgotten
              G                                     
Sons are like birds flying upwards over the mountain


[Verse]
         C       G                                           
Mother I made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison
Em          G                                              
■  Mother I lost it all of the fear of the Lord I was given
       C      G                                                 
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to
       G                                                       
Mother forgive me I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you


[Chorus]
Em7 G          C       G         
■   So may the sunrise bring hope
                  G        
Where it once was forgotten
Em7 G             C               G                        
■   Sons could be birds taken and broken up to the mountain

[Verse]
             G    
Mother don't worry
           G                                  
I've got a coat and some friends on the corner
             G    
Mother don't worry
            G                             
She's got a garden we're planting together
Em        C                           G                       D      G
■  Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry ■
Em              G                                
■  Blood on the floor and the fleas on their paws
                       D       G
And you cried 'til the morning ■


[Chorus]
Em            C       G         
■  So may the sunrise bring hope
                  D         G
Where it once was forgotten ■
Em               C            G               Bm7     
■  Sons are like birds flying always over the mountain
