George Michael – Mothers Pride (Ukulele)

C#m       F#
Oh she knows

       B
She takes his hand

Gm
And prays the child will understand

C#m            F#             B
At the door they watch the men go by

G#m
In the clothes that daddy wore

A
Mother’s pride

F#
Baby boy

B
His fathers eyes

G#m                        A
He’s a soldier waiting for war

F#
Time will come

C#m         F#
  And as he grows

B
He hears the band

G#m
Takes the step from boy to man

C#m                  F#              B
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye

G#m
Like the man she did before

A
Mother’s pride

F#
Just a boy

B
His country’s eyes

G#m                     A
He’s a soldier waving at the shore

F#
And in her heart the time has come

C#m                                  F#
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone

B
They make no difference

G#m
No difference in the end

C#m                  F#                   B
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero

G#m
In the name of God and name

A
Mother’s pride

F#
Crazy boy

B
His lifeless eyes

G#m                        A
He’s a soldier now forevermore

F#
He’ll hold a gun ‘till kingdom come
