My take on this wonderful song, recently heard on Sons of Anarchy. The Cadd9 is probably actually an F or a variation thereof, but I find it easier to add the finger picking with this, and it sounds pretty true to the original.
F		  Fadd9    F
Mother, Try to do right by you
To do what you asked me to
       G	   F
I did wrong and I knew.
Mother I tried to behave for you Now I’m a digging a grave for you It was all I could do.
G				      F
Find a way back home, Make everything new 

		  F
But I wish it was true.
Father, well I’ll give my soul to you I came in blind folded for you It was all that I knew. Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you I wish it was true.
Dm			 F
Boy come on out from the cold

				  F
Your lost outside there don’t you know

				 G
It’s not what you say it was you do

				  Dm
Just keep wishing your wishes are true

			       F
Well your dreams there reality now

			    F
There’s no pain there’s no misery

			      G
Just polish the blood and the bruise

				F
For there’s just no way you can lose.

		  F
But I wish it was true.
Country, I was a solider for you I did what you asked me to It was wrong and you knew. Country, now I’m just a stranger to you A number a name it’s true Throw me away when you’re through.
G						  F
Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue

		  F
But I wish it was true.
