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