[Intro] C# C#6 B B6 (x2) Bm7 B A E [Verse 1]
 G#m7                             F#m7
She came up from the country with a smile for everyone

     G#m7                         F#m7
She left her blue horizon just to find another home

  G#m7                            F#m7
A lonely girl who'd traveled many days

  G#m7                               F#m7
A lonely heart that could not find a way
[Chorus]
               G#m7          F#m7
And she said, "Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone

 G#m7          F#m7
Momma, it's so hard to carry on

      G#m7       F#m7
And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all

    F#dim7                      C#
You used to make it all so very clear

     B                                 C#m7
That life must go on though the end is near

   G#m7          F#m7
Oh momma, it's a sad and lonely life"
E [Verse 2]
 G#m7                             F#m7
A misty morning rider; she came wandering through the hills

  G#m7                          F#m7
A wanderin' soul appearin' over rainy windowsills

  G#m7                           F#m7
A loser in her heart, but in her face

  G#m7                           F#m7
A smile for everyone under God's grace
[Chorus]
               G#m7          F#m7
And she said, "Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone

 G#m7          F#m7
Momma, it's so hard to carry on

      G#m7       F#m7
And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all

    F#dim7                      C#

     B                                 C#m7
That life must go on though the end is near

   G#m7          F#m7
Oh momma, it's a sad and lonely life"

               G#m7          F#m7
And she said, "Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone

 G#m7          F#m7
Momma, it's so hard to carry on

      G#m7       F#m7
And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all

    F#dim7                      C#

  G#m7                           F#m7
Midnight maiden madness, what to search for in this place?

  G#m7                         F#m7
Gateway to the city, night sky shadows on her face

  G#m7                         F#m7
A lady lost in nowhere but her stare

  G#m7                              F#m7
Leaves the world, her life to start somewhere
[Chorus] (x2)
               G#m7          F#m7
And she said, "Momma, it's a hard life now you're gone

 G#m7          F#m7
Momma, it's so hard to carry on

      G#m7       F#m7
And I feel I'm a fool who lost it all

    F#dim7                      C#
You used to make it all so very clear

     B
That life must go on though the end is near...
