[Verse 1]
Em           C                   G                            D
Mother don't worry, I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed

Em           C                    G                     D
Mother don't worry, I've got some money I saved for the weekend

Em         C             G                            D
Mother remember being so stern with that girl who was with me?

Em         C                    G                                D
Mother remember the blink of an eye when I breathed through your body?
[Chorus]
Em         C             G                      D
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

Em            C             G                D
Sons are like birds, flying upwards over the mountain
[Verse 2]
Em         C                 G                         D
Mother I made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison

Em         C                 G                      D
Mother I lost it, all of the fear of the Lord I was given

Em         C                  G                          D
Mother forget me now that the creek drank the cradle you sang to

Em        C                    G                        D
Mother forgive me, I sold your car for the shoes that I gave you
[Chorus]
Em         C             G                      D
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

Em            C            G                D
Sons could be birds, taken broken up to the mountain
[Solo] Em C G D x4 [Verse 3]
Em           C                 G                            D
Mother don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on the corner

Em           C                  G                     D
Mother don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together

Em         C                       G                       D
Mother remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry?

Em           C                            G                           D
Blood on the floor and the fleas on their paws and you cried 'til the morning
[Chorus]
Em         C             G                      D
So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten

Em            C             G               D
Sons are like birds, flying always over the mountain
[Interlude] Em C G D x4 [Outro] Em C G D x8
