  			|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 reu-nion  
 
  |Am     G      |D   |           |Em              |  
Is only a motion away,  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   
 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 reu-nion  
 
  |Am     G      |D   |           |Em              |  
Is only a motion away,  oh, little darling of mine.  
 
 
               |D             |  
 I just can't believe it's so,  
 
                    |Em            |  
 and though it seems strange to say  
 
             |D          |  
 I 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  
 
       |C           D       |G  
On this strange and mournful day  
 
        |C          D      |G Em  
When the mother and child reu-nion  
 
  |Am     G      |D   |             
Is only a motion away,    
 
   
           |C          D      |G  
 Oh, oh the mother and child reunion  
 
  |C      D      |G    
Is only a motion away  
 
      |C          D      |G|Em  
Oh the mother and child reu-nion  
 
  |Am     G      |D  |  |G |  
Is only a moment away
