Mother,Father

(intro) Em  D  Dsus4  C  Em  D  C  G  Dsus4

Em   A/C#  D     Bm       C
She sits alone  an empty stare
Bbm                 B     G#
A mother's face she wears
Em    A/C#        D
Where did she go wrong
Bm            C
the fight is gone
     Bbm          B
Lord help this broken home

(chorus)

Em      C       C#      D
   Hey  mother  father  sister
Em      C         C#           D
   Hey  come back  tryin'  believein'
Em      C       C#      D
   Hey  mother  father  dreamer
C G G                        D
   Don't you know that I'm alive for you
C G G                  D
   I'm your sevenths son
C G G                            D
 And when lightin' strikes the family
        D        C  C
   Have faith  believe.
Em     Dbm      D     Bm
Em     A/C#      D     Bm        C
With dreams he tried  lost his pride

    Bbm         B    G#
He drinks his life away
Em   A/C#    D
One photograph
Bm        C
in broken glass
Bbm             B
It should not end this way.

Em      A/C#     D
Through bitter tears
Bm            C          Bbm
And wounded years  those ties
    B          G#
of blood were strong
Em    A/C#     D       Bm       C
So much to say  those yesterdays
    Bbm       B
So now don't you turn away.
