Jack Savoretti - Mother

^AmThey killed a man for doing wrong ^Ftoday When all he ever did in life ^Cwas look the other wa^Gy ^AmAnd with his verdict someone heard him ^Fpray The crowd gathered around^C to see the look on his fa^Gce

^FWill they ever know,^Am the last words he spo^Gke. F * He Cried "Mother!" ^AmAs the people stood and stared. He Cried &^Gquot;Mother." And no one seemed to^Am care.

^AmBarely 25 years to hi^Fs name Only the good die yo^Cung it's too hard to ^Gsay With^Am a wife and child living back at^F home far from h^Cere where he dies all a^Glone

^FWill they ever know, ^Amthe last words he spoke F * He Cried "Mother!" ^AmAsk the people ho were there He Cried &^Gquot;Mother." And it sounded ^Amlike a prayer

^AmThey killed a man for doing wrong ^Ftoday " humming rest of the song " | c | g | am | f | c | g | f |
