Intro: Em Am 

Verse 
Em                         Am        Em 
She was a sinner like all other guardians 
Bm           Am             Em 
For of her daughter she was proud 
Em                         Am           Em 
Went to the market on the third Sunday again 
Bm             Am             Em 
And there she vanished in the crowd 
 

[Refrão]
G                 D                      Em 
Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast 
                       D                          G 
And how your eyes exploded as you took your first breath 
G                   D                               Em 
Now the lading days return and the want beckons the yearn 
                  D                            C 
To rise above the nest and to lay your head to rest 
                    G     D 
Forlorn but for the best 

Interlude Em Am 

Verse 
Immigrants come and emigrants go 
Tell me why is it like that? 
Emigrant at heart and an immigrant in mind 
Ones’ emaciation an others’ fat 


[Refrão]
G                 D                      Em 
Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast 
                       D                          G 
And how your eyes exploded as you took your first breath 
G                   D                               Em 
Now the lading days return and the want beckons the yearn 
                  D                            C 
To rise above the nest and to lay your head to rest 
                    G     D 
Forlorn but for the best 

Bridge 
Em                Bm                            C 
Crying emigrant at heart and an immigrant in mind 
                          D                                   Em 
Touching all the trees to see if there was one with bark like mine 
              Bm                            C 
In denial we worried that this was never meant 
                    D                                  G 
And on trial in the wake of all the prayers we never sent 


[Refrão]
G                 D                      Em 
Oh it wasn’t long ago you suckled to her breast 
                       D                          G 
And how your eyes exploded as you took your first breath 
G                   D                               Em 
Now the lading days return and the want beckons the yearn 
                  D                            C 
To rise above the nest and to lay your head to rest 
                    G     D 
Forlorn but for the best
