[Verse 1]
        C
Oh Mother,
                                 Em    Am
I can feel the soil falling over my head
Fmaj7 G6         C
        And as I climb into an empty bed, oh well,
Em Am
     enough said

[Pre-Chorus]
             Fmaj7       G6
I know it's over still I cling,
  Fmaj7                       G6
I don't know where else I can go
 Fmaj7 G6
Over,  over

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 G6   C
      Oh Mother,
                                 Em    Am
I can feel the soil falling over my head
Fmaj7    G6         C
     You see the sea wants to take me,
                          Em
the knife wants to slit me
      Am
Do you  think you can help me ?
Fmaj7      G6   C
Sad  veiled  bride please be happy
                           Em
Handsome groom give her room 
Am Fmaj7 G6        C
   Loud  loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs
you
  Em
More than she loves you

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G6          Fmaj7         G6
      I know it's over, still I cling
    Fmaj7                      G6
I don't  know where else I can go
 Fmaj7     G6
Over, oh, over
Fmaj7  G6         C
     I know it's over

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
     And it never really began
G6               Fmaj7       G6    Am
  But in my heart     it was so real 
Fmaj7                G6
     And she even spoke to me and said,
Fmaj7 G6
      oh

[Verse 3]
C
 "If you're so funny ,

        Em            Am
why are you on your own tonight?"
Fmaj7 G6     C
        "And if you're so very entertaining,
