    C                                                Am7   
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F   G        C
   and as I climb into an empty bed 
          Am7
oh well, enough said
F G          F              G
  I know it's over still I cling
F                          G         F      G F
I don't know where else I can go, mother

    C                                               Am7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F G         C
  see, the sea wants to take me

the knife wants to slit me
  Am
do you think you can help me?
F    G     C
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
                              Am7
handsome groom, give her room
F     G       C
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
                          Am7
although she needs you more than she loves you
F G             F              G           
And I know it's over still I cling
F                          G  
I don't know where else I can go
F                    G               F     
it's over, it's over, it's over

I know it's over
              F            
and it never really began
G               F       G       Am
but in my heart it was so real
F        G                          F G
and you even spoke to me and said:

 
C                                               Am7         F G

                           Am7         F  G
that's why you're on your own tonight

         Am7
while they are in each other's arms"
