     D         E        A
No I would not give you false hope
        D           E        A
On this strange and mournful day
        D          E       A F#m
But the mother and child reunion
   Bm     A       E
Is only a motion away


              F#m
Oh oh, little darling of mine
                E
I can't for the life of me
           F#m
Remember a sadder day
                E
I know they say let it be
                       F#m
But it just don't work out that way
                    D
And the course of a lifetime runs
         E            E7
Over and over again


     D         E        A
No I would not give you false hope
        D           E        A
On this strange and mournful day
        D          E       A F#m
But the mother and child reunion
   Bm     A       E
Is only a motion away

            F#m
Oh oh, little darling of mine
               E
I just can't believe it’s so
                F#m
Though it seems strange to say
               E
I never been laid so low
             F#m
In such a mysterious way
                    D
And the course of a lifetime runs
         E              E7
Over and over again


      D         E        A
But I would not give you false hope
        D           E        A
On this strange and mournful day
         D          E       A F#m
When the mother and child reunion
   Bm     A       E
Is only a motion away

       D          E       A
Oh the mother and child reunion
   D      E      A 
Is only a motion away
       D          E       A F#m
Oh the mother and child reunion
   Bm     A       E
Is only a moment away, hey, hey, hey

       D          E       A
Oh the mother and child reunion
   D      E      A 
Is only a motion away
       D          E       A F#m
Oh the mother and child reunion
   Bm     A       E
Is only a moment away, oh oh

       D          E       A
Oh the mother and child reunion
   D      E      A 
Is only a motion away
       D          E       A F#m
Oh the mother and child reunion
   Bm     A       E
Is only a moment away, away, away, away
