Mother Greer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Am][G]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Well [C]versed
I am [G]in the taint of my [Am]birth,
My di[G]minishing role in this sphere
But some[C]times I require a [G]communique
[Am]from the mothe[G]r to make it clear.
[D]Well England is pretty in the summer time,
[C]Boys are beautiful until the age of nine
And [Am]certainly women begin to pine
for [Em]usurping [C]their [Em]laden [D]fear
But after [C]making love we [G]hear nothing,
[Am]Mother Greer[G]
But after [C]making love we [G]hear nothing,
[Am]Mother Greer[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Tiptoe Tiptoe [C]with me...

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
O no [D]tiptoe of tiny feet make sound
Or [C]tiny heartbeat pound in our ears
[G]Waking [Am]up with the sweats
and the terrors
Like some [Em]fifty- five year- old
[D]corporateer
Who after [C]making love he [G]hears [C]nothing,
Mother [G]Greer[C]
Yes, after making love we [G]hear nothing,
[C]Mother Gre[G]er[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Rise, rise, rise, and tune your Pi[C]anos,
I hear the wind whistle
through their [Am]teeth,
You cheating sons from your deep, [Em]your [C]dreamless, end[Em]less,
[D]arse- [C]fa [G]cing, [C]wal[G]kin[C]g, [G]slee[C]p...[G][C]

[Verse 5]
[C]Well versed I am in the [G]taint of my [Am]birth,
My di[G]minishing roll in this sphere
But some[C]times I require a [G]communique
[C]fro[G]m the mother to make it clear.
[D]Well England is pretty in the summer time,
[C]Boys are beautiful until the age of nin[G]e
And [Am]certainly women begin to pine
for [Em]usurping their [D]laden fear

[Verse 6]
But after [C]making love we [G]hear [C]nothing,
Mother [G]Greer
[C]Yes after making love we hear not[G]h in[C]g,
Mother Greer
[G][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]
[C]Why are there so many of you over there when
you can't even get over [G]here?[C][G]
[C]After making tracks we [G]hear nothing,
[C]Mother Gre[G]er

[Verse 8]
[G]Rise, [C]rise, rise, and tune your pianos,
I hear the wind whistle through their [Am]teeth,
You cheating sons of deceit [Em]while I'm breaking
melod[D]ies every time [C]I b[G]reathe...[C][G]
Every [C]time I breathe..

[Outro 1]
