Em, D, C, G, Dsus4 

Em   Dbm  D     Bm       C 
She sits alone, an empty stare 
Bbm                 B     G# 
A mother's face she wears 
Em    Dbm        D 
Where did she go wrong, 
Bm            C 
the fight is gone 
     Bbm          B      
Lord help this broken home 
Chorus: 
Em      C       C#      D   
   Hey, mother, father, sister 
Em      C         C#           D 
   Hey, come back, tryin', believein' 
Em      C       C#      D  
   Hey, mother, father, dreamer 
C G G                        D 
   Don't you know that I'm alive for you 
C G G                  D 
   I'm your sevenths son 
C G G                            D 
 And when lightin' strikes the family 
        D        C  C 
   Have faith, believe. 
Em     Dbm      D     Bm  
Em     Dbm      D     Bm        C  
With dreams he tried, lost his pride 
    Bbm         B    G#   
He drinks his life away 
Em   Dbm    D           
One photograph, 
Bm        C  
in broken glass 
Bbm             B 
It should not end this way.

Em      Dbm     D 
Through bitter tears 
Bm            C          Bbm 
And wounded years, those ties 
    B          G# 
of blood were strong 
Em    Dbm     D       Bm       C    
So much to say, those yesterdays 
    Bbm       B  
So now don't you turn away.
