--------------------------------------------------------------------------- time signature: 6/8 [Intro] | A | E6/A D6/A | A | E6/A D6/A | | A | E6/A D6/A | A | E6 D6 | [Verse 1]
          A
When it's up to you

   E6/A          D6/A      A
To figure what's right and wrong

     E6/A    D6/A     A
It's someone else's parade

    E6          D6      A        E6/A   D6/A
And yours is an unhappy song
[Verse 2]
                 A
When it hurts so bad

        E6/A          D6/A     A
And you feel that you can't go on

E6/A          D6/A   A
Each day goes by too fast

        E6         D6      A
And the nights are so very long
[Chorus]
                E
You'll find out true

     D              Bm
What mother said to you

              A        D            E
That tears of God will show you the way

          | A | E6/A D6/A | A | E6/A D6/A |
The way to turn
[Verse 3]
          A
When your only escape

     E6/A  D6/A   A
Is a cheap nickel wine

        E6/A      D6/A         A
And the peace you need in your heart

      E6   D6      A       E6/A   D6/A
Is so very hard to find
[Verse 4]
       A
It's a stubborn life we lead

    E6/A          D6/A  A
And there's never no    rest

E6/A          D6/A          A/C#
Trouble's out there looking for you

     E6       D6       A
Even when you try your best
[Chorus]
                E
You'll find out true

     D              Bm
What mother said to you

             A        D            E
The tears of God will show you the way
[Middle 8]
           D7
The way to turn

              A7
Hide not your head

           D7
The way to turn

                  A7
Hear what he once said

                   D7
He'll show you the way

               A/E               D/E
For there is a world for you and me

          G/E          * E
Where the blind too can see

                    | A | E6/A D6/A | A | E6/A D6/A |
Through the tears of God
[Verse 5]
    A
The son of the maker said

E6/A       D6/A     A
This is my cross to bear

E6/A   D6/A       A
Taking off of our shoulders

          E6 D6          A
Something we should have shared
[Chorus] (+ coda)
                E
You'll find out true

     D              Bm
What mother said to you

              A        D            E
That tears of God will show you the way

          | A | E6 D6 | A 
The way to turn
