C                                                Am
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F   G        C
   And as I climb into an empty bed
          Am
Oh well, enough said
F G          F              G
  I know it's over still I cling
F                          G         F      G F
I don't know where else I can go, mother

    C                                               Am
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F  G         C
   See, the sea wants to take me

The knife wants to slit me
  Am
Do you think you can help me?
F    G     C
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
                              Am
Handsome groom, give her room
F     G       C
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
                          Am
Although she needs you more than she loves you
F G             F              G
And I know it's over still I cling
F                          G
I don't know where else I can go
F                    G          F
It's over, it's over, it's over

            C
I know it's over
              F
And it never really began
G               F       G      Am
But in my heart it was so real
F        G                        F  G
And you even spoke to me and said


C                                               Am       F G
"If you're so funny then why are you on your own tonight?

C                                                 Am          F G
And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?
C                                                        Am          F G
If you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?
C                                                  Am
If you're so very good looking why do you sleep alone tonight?

     F G        C
I know   cause tonight is just like any other night
                           Am          F  G
That's why you're on your own tonight
             C
With your triumphs and your charms
         Am
While they are in each other's arms

F         G        F
It's so easy to laugh
                  G
It's so easy to hate
             F                      G
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
F                    G
It's over, over, over

F        G         F
It's so easy to laugh
                  G
It's so easy to hate
         F                      G
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
F                    G
It's over, over, over

         C           F   G
Love is natural and real
    F       G        Am
But not for you, my love
    F           G
Not tonight my love
F G      C           F
Love is natural and real
G    F              G            Em      F G
But not for such as you and I, my love

    C            F        G            F    G   Am  F G  F G
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
