Jack Savoretti – Mother (Guitar)

Am                                F
They killed a man for doing wrong today

                             C                    G
When all he ever did in life was look the other way

Am                                     F
And with his verdict someone heard him pray

                         C                         G
The crowd gathered around to see the look on his face

F                   Am                    G
Will they ever know, the last words he spoke.

F *            
He Cried "Mother!"

Am
As the people stood and stared.

          G
He Cried "Mother."

                    Am
And no one seemed to care.

Am                   F
Barely 25 years to his name

                    C                    G
Only the good die young it's too hard to say

    Am                              F               C
With a wife and child living back at home far from here 

                   G
where he dies all alone

F                    Am
Will they ever know, the last words he spoke

F *                 
He Cried "Mother!"

Am
Ask the people ho were there

          G
He Cried "Mother."

               Am
And it sounded like a prayer

Am                                F
They killed a man for doing wrong today " humming rest of the song "
