Chords

[Verse 1]
          F          Fm
There's a time and a place and the place it is now
Take the smile off your face when you're dressed like a cow
                       Gm
When you're frolicking round, legs in the air

                                       Bb
Smile on your face but it's covered in hair

       Eb
Do you want it?

       Bb
Do you want it?
[Verse 2]
    Cm
You run through the streets like the whore that you are
And you hope pretty soon you'll be struck by the car
        Bb
But the light of the day tries to keep you afloat

              Ab
While there's pain in your stomach and pain in your throat

       Bb
Do you want it?
Do you want it? [Instrumental] Cm Cm7 Ab G Fm [Refrain]
Cm               Bb       Ab      G
Mother would you take me, and on, and on

Fm         Cm               Bb    Ab           G
For I have nothing, no more baby, she's gone, and on
(3, 4) [Bridge]
Fm7                                   Eb
I tried to take your word on what you said

                    Bb                    Eb
I tried to take the word but the word was dead

         Bb
I did not want it

    Cm                                Bb
And in the light of day it all seemed well

                                      Bb7
Or was it just a dream, she could not tell

     Bb
With how she wanted it?
[Verse 3]
          Db
There's a time and a place and the place it is now
Take that smile off your face when you're dressed like a cow
            Cm
When you're frolicking round with your legs in the air

Cm7
Smile on your face but it's covered in hair

   Eb
Do you want it? Oh

      Bb
Do you want it? Oh
[Verse 4]
     Cm
Just imagine a life with a baby and wife
What the times would look like when compared to the night
        Bb
But the money's not there so you sit in despair
Curse at the sky when the quiet's not there
       Ab
Do you want it? Oh now

       Bb
Do you want it? Oh
[Bridge]
    Cm             Bb                  Ab                 G
And after all the time has passed, she finally found some peace at last

Cm           Bb                         F        G     Cm
Taken to the table where she wrote, she held herself a vote

                   Bb                 Ab  G
A vote between the good and bad, with all she'd seen and all she'd had

Cm             Bb                  Ab              G
Nancy tried to take the night, but now she's gone removed from sight
[Refrain]
            Cm               Bb       Ab      G
And now oh, mother would you take me, and on, and on

           Cm             Bb         Ab     G
For I have nothing but my baby, she's gone, shes gone
[Outro]

If I could take it back now

G   Fm           Bb Ab  C
Oh, would I take it back now?

Fm               Bb  Ab   Eb
If he could take it, back, now

G       Fm    Bb     Ab    G
Would he take it all back now?

Cm             Bb        Ab    Eb        G
Nancy took the night and she's gone, and on
