[Verse 1]
Em           C      
Mother don't worry, 
             G          
I killed the last snake 
                  D
that lived in the creek bed
Em           C      
Mother don't worry, 
              G                     D
I've got some money I saved for the weekend
Em         C             G     
Mother remember being so stern 
                       D
with that girl who was with me?
Em         C                    G   
Mother remember the blink of an eye 
                             D
when I breathed through your body?
 
[Chorus]
Em         C             G    
So may the sunrise bring hope 
                  D
where it once was forgotten
Em            C      
Sons are like birds, 
       G                D
flying upwards over the mountain
 
[Verse 2]
Em         C                 G      
Mother I made it up from the bruise 
                   D
of a floor of this prison
Em         C                 G    
Mother I lost it, all of the fear 
                  D
of the Lord I was given
Em         C                  G     
Mother forget me now that the creek 
                     D
drank the cradle you sang to
Em        C        
Mother forgive me, 
            G   
I sold your car 
                     D
for the shoes that I gave you
 
[Chorus]
Em         C             G    
So may the sunrise bring hope 
                  D
where it once was forgotten
Em            C      
Sons could be birds, 
      G                D
taken broken up to the mountain
 
[Solo]
Em  C  G  D  x4
 
[Verse 3]
Em           C      
Mother don't worry, 
           G        
I've got a coat and 
                    D
some friends on the corner
Em           C      
Mother don't worry, 
            G      
she's got a garden 
               D
we're planting together
Em         C              
Mother remember the night 
         G                       D
that the dog had her pups in the pantry?
Em           C                   
Blood on the floor and the fleas 
         G                           D
on their paws and you cried 

'til the morning
 
[Chorus]
Em         C             G    
So may the sunrise bring hope 
                  D
where it once was forgotten
Em            C      
Sons are like birds, 
       G               D
flying always over the mountain
 
[Interlude]
Em  C  G  D  x4
 
[Outro]
Em  C  G  D  x8
