Every Mother's Way

Intro  Rhythm Figure in A 4x

                 C figure  2x
He lied to every one
A figure 2x
    What's easier than sleep?
                     C figure 2x       
What's harder than a song?
           F
And at the start
                       C
She stole him from the water
                    A figure but strum a G on the E-string  2x
It's every mother's way.

A Figure 2x
              C figure 2x
A lie is ever near
A Figure 2x
     It digs into the sand
                 C figure 2x
It's fingers ever clear
           F
And in the end
                   C
She only tried to hold him
                    A figure but strum a G on the E-string   2x
It's every mother's way.
A figure 2x

C             Am
And now it's nothing
G          Am
She lives alone
D                     F
And now every fallen robin
            C
Has found a home
         A figure but strum a G on the E-string   2x
I have a home.

A Figure 2x
   It went up into the air.
                    C figure 2x
And bent around the sun.
A Figure 2x
     What falls upon the earth
                C figure 2x
Is lost to everyone
          F
He was a flower
                        C
His ringing ears could teach him
                 A figure but strum a G on the E-string   2x
Of every mother's way.

A Figure 2x

C            Am
And now it's nothing
G          Am
She lives alone again
D                        F
And like another fallen robin
                     C
I'll struggle to survive
          A figure but strum a G on the E-string   2x
But I am alive
     A figure  4x 
I am alive.
