[Verse 1]
[Em]Mother don't worry[C]
I killed the [G]last snake
that lived in the [D]creek bed
[Em]Mother don't worry[C]
I've got some [G]money I saved for the [D]weekend
[Em]Mother remembe[C]r being so stern[G]
with that girl who was [D]with me?
[Em]Mother remembe[C]r the blink of an eye[G]
when I breathed through your [D]body?

[Chorus 1]
[Em]So may the sunri[C]se bring hope[G]
where it once was for[D]gotten
[Em]Sons are like bird[C]s
flying [G]upward over the [D]mountain

[Verse 2]
[Em]Mother I made [C]it up
from the [G]bruise on the floor of this [D]prison
[Em]Mother I lost [C]it
all of the [G]fear of the Lord I was gi[D]ven
[Em]Mother forget [C]me now
that the [G]creek drank the cradle you [D]sang to
[Em]Mother forgive[C] me,
I sold your [G]car for the shoes that I [D]gave you

[Chorus 2]
[Em]So may the sunri[C]se bring hope[G]
where it once was for[D]gotten
[Em]Sons could be bird[C]s
taken [G]broken up to the [D]mountain

[Verse 3]
[Em]Mother don't worry[C], I've got a coat[G]
and some friends on the [D]corner
[Em]Mother don't worry[C]
she's got a [G]garden we're planting to[D]gether
[Em]Mother remembe[C]r the night
that the [G]dog
got her pups in the [D]pantry?
[Em]Blood on the floor[C], fleas on their paws[G]
And you cried 'til the [D]morning

[Chorus 3]
[Em]So may the sunri[C]se bring hope[G]
where it once was for[D]gotten
[Em]Sons are like bird[C]s
flying [G]al ways over the [D]mountain
