I play with a Capo on the third fret -- just to make it easier to sing.

[Verse 1]
A7 Dm G7
I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines,
Cmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 A7 Em7
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus, 'till I read between the lines,
Dm Em F Dm G7
Now I don't believe I wanna see the morning.
[Chorus]
Cmaj G F
Goin' down the stoney end,
Em Dm Cmaj G
I never wanted to go down the stoney end,
Cmaj7 G F Em
Mama, let me start all o-ver,
Dm Em Dm Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again,
Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again.
[Verse 2]
A7 Dm G7
I can still remember him with love-light in his eyes,
Cmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 A7 Em7
But the light flickered out and parted as the sun began to rise,
Dm Em F Dm G7
Now I don't believe I wanna see the morning.
[Chorus]
Cmaj G F
Goin' down the stoney end,
Em Dm Cmaj G
I never wanted to go down the stoney end,
Cmaj7 G F Em
Mama, let me start all o-ver,
Dm Em Dm Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again,
Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again.
[Verse 3]
A7 Dm G7
Nevermind the forecast, 'cause the sky has lost control.
Cmaj7 G7 Cmaj7 A7 Em7
'Cause the fury and the broken thunder's come to match my ragin' soul,
Dm Em F Dm G7
Now I don't believe I wanna see the morning.
[Chorus]
Cmaj G F
Goin' down the stoney end,
Em Dm Cmaj G
I never wanted to go down the stoney end,
Cmaj7 G F Em
Mama, let me start all o-ver,
Dm Em Dm Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again,
Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again.
[Chorus]
Cmaj G F
Goin' down the stoney end,
Em Dm Cmaj G
I never wanted to go down the stoney end,
Cmaj7 G F Em
Mama, let me start all o-ver,
Dm Em Dm Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again,
Em F
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again.
