[Verse 1]
F               A        A7
E|was| born----  from love,
       Dm7                    G
And my poor mother worked the mines,
G7    C             G7        C
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus,
 A7    Em7              A
'Til I read between the lines,
A7     Dm         A7/E    F     D7      Dm7    G7
Now, I don't be - lieve I wanna see the morn - ing

[Chorus]
C              G7     F
Going down the stoney end,
        Em7       Dm7         G7     C     G7
I never wanted to go down the stoney end,
C            G7        F   Em7   Dm7    Em7
Mama, let me start all o - ver,  cradle me,
Dm7          Em7     F         Em7                 F
Mama, cradle me a - gain---------!
                   (Cradle me, Mama, cradle me a - gain!)

[Verse 2]
F                A       A7
    I can still---- re - member him,
     Dm7               G
With love-light in his eyes,
G7      C               G7      C
But the light flickered out and parted,
A7     Em7          A
As the sun began to rise,
A7     Dm         A7/E    F     D7      Dm7    G7
Now, I don't be - lieve I wanna see the morn - ing

[Chorus]
C              G7     F
Going down the stoney end,
        Em7       Dm7         G7     C     G7
I never wanted to go down the stoney end,
C            G7        F   Em7   Dm7    Em7
Mama, let me start all o - ver,  cradle me,
Dm7          Em7     F         Em7                 F
Mama, cradle me a - gain---------!
                  ( Cradle me, Mama, cradle me a - gain!)

[Verse 3]
F             A       A7
   Never mind---- the forecast,
           Dm7                G
'Cause the sky has lost con - trol,
 G7        C             G7     C
'Cause the fury, and the broken thunder's,
A7      Em7             A
Come to match my raging soul,
A7     Dm         A7/E    F     D7      Dm7    G7
Now, I don't be - lieve I wanna see the morn - ing

[Chorus]
C              G7     F
Going down the stoney end,
        Em7       Dm7         G7     C     G7
I never wanted to go down the stoney end,
C            G7        F      Em7
