[Strophe]Em C G DMother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bedEm C G DMother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekendEm C G DMother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?Em C G DMother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?[Refrain]Em C G DSo may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgottenEm C G DSons are like birds, flying upwards over the mountain[Strophe]Em C G DMother I made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prisonEm C G DMother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was givenEm C G DMother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang toEm C G DMother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you[Refrain]Em C G DSo may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgottenEm C G DSons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain[Solo]Em C G D x4[Strophe]Em C G DMother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the cornerEm C G DMother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting togetherEm C G DMother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?Em C G DBlood on the floor and the fleas on their paws and you cried 'til the morning[Refrain]Em C G DSo may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgottenEm C G DSons are like birds, flying always over the mountain[Interlude]Em C G D x4[Outro]Em C G D x8
