Jack Savoretti - Mother: chords

Bm                                   G
They killed a man for doing wrong today
D                        A
When all he ever did in life was look the other way
     Bm                                  G
And with his verdict someone heard him pray
                     D
The crowd gathered around to see the
             A
look on his face

 G              Bm                       A
Will they ever know, the last words he spoke.
           G
He Cried "Mother!"
                          Bm
As the people stood and stared.
           A
He Cried "Mother."
                     Bm
And no one seemed to care.

Barely 25 years to his name
Only the good die young
It's too hard to say
With a wife and child living back at home
Far from here where he dies all alone

Chorus:
Will they ever know, the last words he spoke
He cried, "Mother," at the people who were there
Well he cried, "Mother"
It sounded like a prayer

They killed a man for doing wrong today
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
