VERSE
A
When it's up to you
E6/A D6/A A
To figure what's right and wrong
E6/A D6/A A
It's someone else's parade
E6 D6 A E6/A D6/A
And yours is an unhappy song
VERSE
A
When it hurts so bad
E6/A D6/A A
And you feel that you can't go on
E6/A D6/A A
Each day goes by too fast
E6 D6 A
And the nights are so very long
CHORUS
E
You'll find out true
D Bm
What mother said to you
A D E
That tears of God will show you the way
| A | E6/A D6/A | A | E6/A D6/A |
The way to turn
VERSE
A
When your only escape
E6/A D6/A A
Is a cheap nickel wine
E6/A D6/A A
And the peace you need in your heart
E6 D6 A E6/A D6/A
Is so very hard to find
VERSE
A
It's a stubborn life we lead
E6/A D6/A A
And there's never no rest
E6/A D6/A A/C#
Trouble's out there looking for you
E6 D6 A
Even when you try your best
CHORUS
E
You'll find out true
D Bm
What mother said to you
A D E
The tears of God will show you the way
MIDDLE 8
D7
The way to turn
A7
Hide not your head
D7
The way to turn
A7
Hear what he once said
D7
He'll show you the way
A/E D/E
For there is a world for you and me
G/E * E
Where the blind too can see
| A | E6/A D6/A | A | E6/A D6/A |
Through the tears of God
VERSE
A
The son of the maker said
E6/A D6/A A
This is my cross to bear
E6/A D6/A A
Taking off of our shoulders
E6 D6 A
Something we should have shared
CHORUS (+ coda)
E
You'll find out true
D Bm
What mother said to you
A D E
That tears of God will show you the way
| A | E6 D6 | A
The way to turn
