Oh my mama told me
                                     E

She say she wanna spare the children
D

'cause all that you have is your soul
D                                  A    
■ So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
                          D    
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
                           A      
Hunger only for a taste of justice
A                               
Hunger only for a world of truth

Well ■ I was a pretty young girl once

I had dreams I had high hopes
E                                     
I married a man he stole my heart away
   D                                         
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
A            E                
All that you have is your soul
A  D                               A

Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
                           A      
Hunger only for a taste of justice
A                               
Hunger only for a world of truth

'cause all that you have is your soul
D                            
■ Why was I such a young fool
A                       
Thought I'd make history
       A                             
Making babies was the best I could do
E                                     Esus4          
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
D                                               
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
    A            E                
And all that you have is your soul
A  D                               A    
So ■ don't be tempted by the shiny apple
                          D

■ I thought thought that I could find a way
A                 
To beat the system
          A                            
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
    E                                       
I'd take it all I'd take it all I'd run away
D                                       
Me for myself first class and first rate

But all that you have is your soul
A  D                               A

'cause all that you have is your soul
D                                     
Here I am I'm waiting for a better day
A              
A second chance
  A                         
A little luck to come my way
  E                                          
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
D                                                            
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
