[Chorus]
G                     C          E
Mother, mother it's just not fair

                     A
We were so close to death

G                     C            E
When the snakes were at €…your breast

                     A
We almost took €…the pledge

         C                                         G
We were seven strokes from the cliffs of heaven's edge
[Verse 1]
F                 G
Mighty pillars of shaky dirt

F                            G
Conceived and planned in an office

C                   G
We had the power to break the spell

C                        A
We had the knowledge, we just couldn't tell, oh
[Chorus]
G                     C          E
Mother, mother it's just not fair

                     A
We were so close to death

G                     C            E
When the snakes were at €…your breast

                     A
We almost took €…the pledge

         C                                         G
We were seven strokes from the cliffs of heaven's edge
[Verse 2]
F                          G
You want to know practical answers

F                        G
Learn something old everyday

C                            G
Wish hard and hope that the dead walk the cave

C                       A
Like fossil fuel in the wheelchair relays
[Chorus]
G                     C          E
Mother, mother it's just not fair

                     A
We were so close to death

G                     C            E
When the snakes were at €…your breast

                     A
We almost took €…the pledge

         C                                         G
We were seven strokes from the cliffs of heaven's edge

         C                                         G
We were seven strokes from the cliffs of heaven's edge
