Mothers Pride

(início)

intro:
G#m  C#m  F#  E  x 2
C#m       F#
Oh she knows
       B
She takes his hand
Gm
And prays the child will understand
C#m            F#             B
At the door they watch the men go by
G#m
In the clothes that daddy wore
A
Mother’s pride
F#
Baby boy
B
His fathers eyes
G#m                        A
He’s a soldier waiting for war
F#
Time will come
He’ll hold a gun
His father’s son
G#m  C#m  F#  E  x 2
C#m         F#
  And as he grows
B
He hears the band
G#m
Takes the step from boy to man
C#m                  F#              B
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
G#m
Like the man she did before
A
Mother’s pride
F#
Just a boy
B
His country’s eyes
G#m                     A
He’s a soldier waving at the shore
F#
And in her heart the time has come
To lose a son
C#m                                  F#
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
B
They make no difference
G#m
No difference in the end
C#m                  F#                   B
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero
G#m
In the name of God and name
A
Mother’s pride
F#
Crazy boy
B
His lifeless eyes
G#m                        A
He’s a soldier now forevermore
F#
He’ll hold a gun ‘till kingdom come
