I've labeled each section verse or chorus to help you distinguish strumming patterns. I wont provide the strumming pattern here but you can figure it out listening to the song. Personally I add some left hand muting in the chorus between the Am and Am as well as between the F and G. (verse)

^AmMother ^F Tell your ^Gchildren not to ^Amwalk my way ^F Tell your^G children not to ^Amhear my words What they ^Fmean What they ^Gsay ^AmMother ^F ^G

(verse) Mother Can you keep them in the dark for life Can you hide them from the waiting world Oh mother (verse) Father Gonna take your daughter out tonight Gonna show her my world Oh father (chorus)

^F Not ^Gabout to see your ^Amlight But if you ^Amwanna find ^Ghell with ^Fme I can ^Gshow you what it's ^Amlike ^AmTill you're ^Gbleeding ^F

Not ^Gabout to see your ^Amlight But if you ^Amwanna find ^Ghell with ^Fme G F (play F for A full measure) I can show you what it's

(verse) Mother Tell your children not to hold my hand Tell your children not to understand Oh mother (verse) Father Do you wanna bang heads with me Do you wanna fear everything Oh father (chorus) Not about to see your light if you wanna find hell with me I can show you what it's like Till you're bleeding Not about to see your light And if you wanna find hell with me I can show you what it's Damn *solo* (rhythm plays verse chords) Not about to see your light But if you wanna find hell with me I can show you what it's like Till you're bleeding Not about to see your light And if you wanna find hell with me I can show you what it's like

^AmMother....
