Mother Like Mine

	  		Intro: B  E  (2X) 


Verse: 
  
          G#m                          E  
She's the sky that holds the clouds  
                B               F#  
She's the lady of the house  
      G#m               E                 B  
A blind believer in all I dare to be  
                 G#m                E  
There's no safer place I've found  
               G#m                                   E 
Than the shoulder of her white night gown  
  G#m                                  E                     B  
Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me  
    C#m  
I'd share her if I could  


 
              E                       B  
Oh the wars would all be over  
                     F#                  B  
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends  
             E                       B             C#m                      F# 
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them  
     G#m                            E  
We'd walk on grass that's greener  
        G#m                           E  
And our cares would all be freer  
       B                    F#              B  
If the world had a mother like mine  
 

Instrumental: B  E (2x)  


Verse: 
  
                G#m                   E  
She's our father's one great love  
               B                      F#  
She's the one he wanted most  
               G#m                                 E                       B      F# 
She's the light in the window of the house I grew up in  
        G#m                     E  
She takes the midnight call  
                B                F# 
She's the bravest of us all  
             G#m                                     E                           B     F# 
And she sings in the garden that she let's her hair down in  


 
             E                        B  
Oh the wars would all be over  
                     F#                 B  
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends  
       E                            B              C#m                       F# 
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them  
  G#m                   E  
Tonight would be easier  
              G#m                        E  
And our dreams would all be deeper  
       B                    F#              B  
If the world had a mother like mine  
 

Bridge: 
  
          E                                          B  
Don't go away, don't go away from me  
        C#m                                                   F# 
Oh I understand she is a helping hand, still I have to say 


Verse: 
  
               G#m                     E  
She's the sky that holds the clouds  
              B                F#  
She's the lady of our house  
G#m                        E                          B  
We all need her but no one more than me  


 
            E                         B  
Oh the wars would all be over  
                    F#                  B  
'Cause she'd raise us all as friends  
       E                            B               C#m                     F# 
And no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them  
        G#m/D#                   E  
We'd walk on grass that's greener  
              G#m                      E  
And the dishes would all be cleaner  
            B               F#                B           E  
If the world had a mother like mine  
                B               E  
Ooh like mine  eh-yehy
