Forgive me if it's not quite right and incomplete, I've only been playing for a year or so :)

VERSE
All the verses share the same pattern.

      If you listen to the song, you'll know which lines it comes in on.
1)
A                          D                   A                    D
Motherless children have a hard time when your mother is dead, Lord
A                          D                   A                    D
Motherless children have a hard time when your mother is dead, Lord
A                  E            D                     F
They don't have anywhere to go, wandering around from   door to door
A                        D                     A                    D
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, Lord
2)
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, Lord
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, Lord
Father will do the best he can, so many things a father can't understand
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, Lord

3)
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, Lord
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, Lord
Sister will do the best she can, so many things a sister can't understand
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, Lord
OUTRO
D            A               D
   When your mother is dead
