Am G
There was a mother Mary in Dresden
C C/B Am
Her man did not come home one night
C G C C
She fell asleep holding her pillow so tight
Am G
Then in the morning, she had a phone call
C C/B Am
From the police, telling he was dead
C G C C
He had been drunk and had drowned in the local river
Fmaj7 /A G
Hey ho, the road is long
C C/B Am
We all need to carry on
Fmaj7 /A G C C
I guess we need a song to take us through the day
Em Am
Heart heavy as a stone
Em Am
Mary was alone
Em Am
She went down on her knees
Fmaj7 /A G
And prayed to the Lord, Please
Em Am
I am alone
Em Am
All my birds have flown
Em Am
And now I fly to you
Fmaj7/A G
Don't you dare fail me, too!
