Key: D
Introduction:
Bm
This is for my mother
A D G
From the older brother of your children, made of three
Bm
Now you found your lover
A D G
Cause it wasn't our father who made you laugh and happy
Bm
It's been a long five years
A D G
I've cried a thousand tears, and here we are after the war
Bm
But we're so much better
A D G
Now the skies are clearer, now there's no more slamming doors
Now, I say
Bm7 A G D
Dear Mother, how you've come so far
Bm7 A G D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm7 A G D
I hope you're proud, Mother, of what you've done
Bm7 A G
It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say
Bm7 A G D
You cleared up my scars
Bm7 A G Bm7
You cleared up my scars
Bm
This is for my father
A D G
From the older brother of your children made of three
Bm
Yeah, you've been so good to us
A D G
And showed us how to live and taught us to be free
Bm
But when Mother told you
A D G
That she didn't love you, all these bridges hit the sea
Bm
So you built another one
A D G
And helped us cross it, even though you were in need
Now, I say
Bm7 A G D
Dear Father, how you've come so far
Bm7 A G D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm7 A G D
I hope you're proud, Father, of what you've done
Bm7 A G
It's a lifelong lesson and I'm not pretending when I say
Bm7 A G D
You cleared up my scars
Bm7 A G Bm
You cleared up my scars
Bm7 A G D
You cleared up my scars
Bm7 A G Bm
You cleared up my scars
Bm7 A G D
Dear Mother, how you've come so far
