[Intro]
B E 2x
[Estrofe]
          G#m                E 
She's the sky that holds the clouds 
          B           F# 
She's the lady of the house 
  G#m               E             B 
A blind believer in all I dare to be 
           G#m              E 
There's no safer place I've found 
         B                           F# 
Than the shoulder of her white night gown 
  G#m                        E               B 
Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me 
    C#m 
I'd share her if I could
[Refrão]
       E                 B 
Oh the wars would all be over 
             F#              B 
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends 
       E              B         G#m             F# 
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them 
     G#m                  E 
We'd walk on grass that's greener 
        G#m                E 
And our cares would all be freer 
       B           F#           B 
If the world had a mother like mine
[Instrumental]
B E 2x
[Estrofe]
          G#m                E 
She's our father's one great love 
          B             F# 
She's the one he wanted most 
          G#m                        E               B 
She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in 
    G#m                E 
She takes the midnight call 
          B             F# 
She's the bravest of us all 
    G#m                              E                   B 
And she sings in the garden that she let's her hair down in
[Refrão]
       E                 B 
Oh the wars would all be over 
             F#              B 
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends 
       E              B         G#m             F# 
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them 
  G#m              E 
Tonight would be easier 
        G#m                 E 
And our dreams would all be deeper 
       B           F#           B 
If the world had a mother like mine
[Puente]
      E                           B 
Don't go away, don't go away from me 
     E 
Oh I understand she is a helping hand, still 
F# 
   I have to say
[Estrofe]
          G#m                E 
She's the sky that holds the clouds 
          B           F# 
She's the lady of our house 
B                   E                B 
We all need her but no one more than me
[Refrão]
       E                 B 
Oh the wars would all be over 
             F#              B 
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends 
       E              B         G#m             F# 
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them 
     G#m                  E 
We'd walk on grass that's greener 
        G#m                 E 
And the dishes would all be cleaner 
       B           F#          B     E 
If the world had a mother like mine 
         B       E 
Ooh like mine  eh-yehy
