Your Mother Still Prays For You, Jack

	  		             G                             C                D                          G 
    The night was dark and stormy, the wind was howling wild, 
              G                    C                       D                     G 
    as an aged mother gazed upon the portrait of her child. 
                  G                             C                   D                                     G 
    As she gazed on the baby's features that once filled her heart with joy, 
              G                               C                     D                         G 
    he's now in this wild world roaming, that mother's long lost boy. 

           G                              C                        D                             G 
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you, 
        G                          C                   D                              G 
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.

         G                          C                    D                       G 
    At last there came a letter, it was deeply edged in black, 
                 G                        C                 D                         G 
    from a comrade long forgotten, who still remembered Jack. 
                      G                            C                 D                         G 
    They have lain your dear old mother in a grave so dark and cold, 
                    G                               C 
    and she wants her boy who is roaming 
            D                                     G 
    to meet her on the streets of gold. 

           G                              C                        D                             G 
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you, 
        G                          C                   D                              G 
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.

             G                       C                     D                               G 
    His stony heart was broken, as he thought of his mother dear, 
              G                               C                    D                                   G 
 and in spite of his comrades laughing, he could not keep back his tears. 
           G                                 C                D                                    G 
    In spite of the great tempolations that once filled his heart with tears, 
               G                                 C                      D                             G 
   so he started for Heaven that evening, as sweetly the people did sing. 

           G                              C                        D                             G 
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you, 
        G                          C                   D                              G 
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.
