Selection chords: Sarah Harris

B                                                G#m7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
E   F#        B
   and as I climb into an empty bed
          G#m7
oh well, enough said
E F#          E              F#
  I know itʼs over still I cling
E                          F#         E      F# E
I donʼt know where else I can go, mother

    B                                               G#m7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
E F#         B
  see, the sea wants to take me

the knife wants to slit me
  G#m
do you think you can help me?
E    F#     B
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
                              G#m7
handsome groom, give her room
E     F#       B
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
                          G#m7
although she needs you more than she loves you
E F#             E              F#
And I know itʼs over still I cling
E                          F#
I donʼt know where else I can go
E                    F#               E
itʼs over, itʼs over, itʼs over

            B
I know itʼs over
              E
and it never really began
F#               E       F#       G#m
but in my heart it was so real
E        F#                          E F#
and you even spoke to me and said:

B                                               G#m7         E F#
"If youʼre so funny then why are you on your own tonight?

B                                                 G#m7         E F#
and if youʼre so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
B                                                        G#m7         E F#
if youʼre so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
B                                                  G#m7
if youʼre so very good looking why do you sleep alone tonight?

     E F#        B
I know   cause tonight is just like any other night
                           G#m7         E  F#
thatʼs why youʼre on your own tonight
             B
with your triumphs and your charms
         G#m7
while they are in each otherʼs arms"

E         F#        E
Itʼs so easy to laugh
                  F#
itʼs so easy to hate
             E                      F#
it takes strength to be gentle and kind
E                F#
itʼs over, over, over

E        F#         E
Itʼs so easy to laugh
                  F#
itʼs so easy to hate
         E                      F#
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
E                F#
itʼs over, over, over

         B           E   F#
Love is natural and real
    E       F#        G#m
but not for you, my love
    E           F#
not tonight my love
E F#      B           E
love is natural and real
F#    E              F#            D#m      E F#
but not for such as you and I, my love

    B            E        F#            E    F#   G#m  E F#   E F#

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
    B            E        F#            E    F#   G#m  E F#   E F#
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
