xb E

( verse )
G#m E
she’s the sky that holds the clouds
B F#
she’s the lady of the house
G#m E B
a blind believer in all i dare to be
G#m E
there’s no safer place i’ve found
B F#
than the shoulder of her white night gown
G#m E B
oh i’ve got the best and the worst of her in me
C#m
i’d share her if i could

( chorus )
E B
oh the wars would all be over
F# B
’cause she’d raise us all as friends
E B G#m F#
and no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them
G#m E
we’d walk on grass that’s greener
G#m E
and our cares would all be freer
B F# B
if the world had a mother like mine

( verse )
G#m E
she’s our father’s one great love
B F#
she’s the one he wanted most
G#m E B
she’s the light in the window of the house i grew up in
G#m E
she takes the midnight call
B F#
she’s the bravest of us all
G#m E B
and she sings in the garden that she let’s her hair down in

( chorus )
E B
oh the wars would all be over
F# B
’cause she’d raise us all as friends
E B G#m F#
and no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

and our dreams would all be deeper
B F# B
if the world had a mother like mine

she’s the sky that holds the clouds
B F#
she’s the lady of our house
B F# B
we all need her but no one more than me

( chorus – out )
E B
oh the wars would all be over
F# B
’cause she’d raise us all as friends
E B G#m F#
and no one would ever wonder if somebody wanted them

and the dishes would all be cleaner
B F# B E
if the world had a mother like mine
