Em              Am 
Oh mom, the dreams are not so bad 
        A                                   Am 
It's just that there's so much to do 
                        Em   Emadd6  Em 
And I'm tired of sleeping 

Em              Am 
Oh mom, the old man is telling me something 
        A                    Am 
his eyes are wide and his mouth is thin 
      Em         Emadd6         Em 
And I just can't hear what he's saying

Oh mom, I wonder when I'll be waking

It's just that there's so much to do

And I'm tired of sleeping 
G          Am

Verse: 
Em              Am 
Oh mom, the kids are playing in pennies 
          A                             Am 
They're up to their knees in money 
                          Em   Emadd6  Em 
In the dirt of the churchyard steps 

Em              Am 
Oh mom, that man he ripped out his lining 
A                               Am 
Tore out a piece of his body 
                   Em   Emadd6  Em 
To show us his "clean quilted heart" 




[Refrão]
Em              Am 
Oh mom, the bird on the string is hanging 
        A                           Am 
Her bones are twisting and dancing 
                         Em  Emadd6 Em 
She's fighting for her small life 

Chorus
