C        D       G 
No I would not give you false hope 
        C           D        G 
on this strange and mournful day 
        C         D        G   Em 
but the mother and child reunion  
   Am      G        D        
is only a moment away.... 
 
 
D              Em 
o.o.oh little darling of mine 
                 D 
I can't for the life of me 
          Em 
remember a sadder day 
                D 
I know they say let it be 
                      Em 
but it just don't work out that way 
                    C 
And the course of a lifetime runs 
         D  
over and over again 
 
       C        D        G        
But I would not give you false hope, No! 
           C         D        G 
on this strange and mournful day 
         C           D     G  Em 
but the mother and child reunion 
   Am      G       D 
is only a motion away 
 
D              Em  
o.o.oh little darling of mine  
                D 
I just can't believe its so 
                   Em 
and though it seems strange to say 
               D 
I've never been laid so low 
         Em 
in such a mysterious way  
                    C 
And the course of a lifetime runs 
         D 
over and over again 
 
       C         D        G        
But I would not give you false hope, No! 
          C           D      G 
on this strange and mournful day 
         C           D     G  Em 
but the mother and child reunion 
    Am      G       D                  G 
is only a motion away..away..away  away
