Motherless Children Lyrics

Intro Em (Original Key is capo on 3RD)
Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone
Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone
Motherless children have a hard time
There's all that weeping and all that crying
Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone
Father will do the best he can when the mother is gone
Father will do the best he can when the mother is gone Father will do the best he can
But there's so many things he just don't understand
Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone
Break - Em-C-Em-C-D-A-C-D-Em
People say a sister will do when the mother is gone
People say a sister will do when the mother is gone
People say a sister will do
But she'll get married, turn her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time when the mother is gone
Friends will treat you like your mother will when your mother is gone
Friends will treat you like your mother will when your mother is gone
Friends will tell you what to do - Then they'll turn their back on you
Motherless children have a hard time when their mother is gone ..... repeat break
