Letra de
Mother

A música Mother foi escrita por Glenn Danzig, vocalista da banda Danzig. Lançada originalmente em 1988 no álbum de estreia da banda, Danzig. A música não teve grande sucesso comercial na época do lançamento, mas ganhou popularidade ao longo dos anos, especialmente depois de ser re-lançada em 1993 em uma versão ao vivo como parte do EP Thralldemonsweatlive. A letra da música é uma resposta de Danzig a um programa de TV sobre abuso de drogas, onde ... um garoto confronta sua mãe sobre suas experiências com drogas. Danzig ficou perturbado com a maneira como os pais estão ausentes na vida dos filhos, levando-o a escrever a música. Ver mais [+]

I've labeled each section verse or chorus to help you distinguish strumming 
patterns. I won't provide the strumming pattern here but you can figure it
out listening to the song. Personally I add some left hand muting in the
chorus between the Am and Am as well as between the F and G.
Mother
Tell your children not to walk my way
Tell your children not to hear my words
What they mean
What they say
Mother
Mother
Can you keep them in the dark for life
Can you hide them from the waiting world
Oh mother
Father
Gonna take your daughter out tonight
Gonna show her my world
Oh father
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's
Mother
Tell your children not to hold my hand
Tell your children not to understand
Oh mother
Father
Do you wanna bang heads with me
Do you wanna fear everything
Oh father
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's
Damn
(rhythm plays verse chords)
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Till you're bleeding
Not about to see your light
But if you wanna find hell with me
I can show you what it's like
Mother
