Milow – My Mothers House (Guitar Acoustic)

   G               C
A slow and steady rain was falling

G             C
In the countryside.

         G               C   Gmaj9
We were gathered in the garden,

    Em            D
The day my daddy died.

   G                    C
Although they had been separated,

  G                   C
Apart for quite some time,

       G              C        Gmaj9
I saw mother's tears erase the years,

Em                  D    D
This young widowed bride.

     C                   Bm
In springtime she'll be turning sixty

    C              D
And be out on the town.

   C               Bm
I really hope she finds a boyfriend,

  C        D7     G   C  G  C
A man who stays around.

      G               C
Well yesterday I was heading west

    G               C
and now I'm headed south

    G               C             Gmaj9
Someone who rails around the world.

       Em            D
She's wandering the house.

    G             C
Oh mother do you hear the footsteps

         G                C
of_your_husband down the hall?

           G           C   Gmaj9
Don't_you_realize the danger

       Em                   D    D
Being trapped inside those walls?

     C                   Bm
In springtime she'll be turning sixty

    C              D
And be out on the town.

   C               Bm
I really hope she finds a boyfriend,

  C        D7     G     G
A man who stays around.

Em                                    G
 And I hope one day that you will be ready,

Em                                  G
 Have someone strong right by your side.

Em                                      G
 Look back on your life and you surely regret it,

C                          D   D   D   D
 Or find some happiness inside.

G               C
Underneath the willow branches

   G              C
At number twenty-nine,

   G               C      Gmaj9
Another crowd has gathered

            Em            D
And_they're putting up a sign.

G              C
Mother she is moving on,

G               C
She is doing so well.

    G              C       Gmaj9
She put the past behind her,

        Em               D    D
Now_the_house is up for sale.

     C                   Bm
In springtime she'll be turning sixty

    C              D
And be out on the town.

   C               Bm
I really hope she finds a boyfriend,

  C       Em/G    D
A man who stays around.

   C               Bm
I really hope she finds a boyfriend,

  C          D        G    C  G
A man - who stays - around.
