Badd9 Add9
She came up from the country with a smile for everyone
Badd9 Add9
She left her blue horizon just to find another home
Badd9 Add9
A lonely girl whod traveled many days
Baad9 Add9
A lonely heart that could not find the way

Aadd9 Abm7 F#m7
And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone"
Abm7 F#m7
Momma, its so hard to carry on
Abm7 F#m7
And I feel Im a fool who lost it all
Ebm7b5 C#
You used to make it all so very clear
Ebm7b5 C#m
That life must go on though the end is near
Badd9 Add9 E E E E
Momma, its a sad and lonely life

Badd9 Add9
A misty morning rider, she came wandering through the hills
Badd9 Add9
A wandering soul appearing over rainy window sills
Badd9 Add9
A loser in her heart but in her face
Badd9 Add9
A smile for everyone under Gods grace


Aadd9 Abm7 F#m7
And she said, "Momma, its a hard life now youre gone"
Abm7 F#m7
Momma, its so hard to carry on
Abm7 F#m7
And I feel Im a fool who lost it all
Ebm7b5 C#
You used to make it all so very clear
Ebm7b5 C#m
That life must go on though the end is near
Badd9 Add9 E E E E
Momma, its a sad and lonely life

Badd9 Add9
Midnight maiden madness, what to search for in this place?
Badd9 Add9
Gateway to the city, night sky shadows on her face
Baad9 Add9
A lady lost in nowhere but her stare
Badd9 Add9
Leaves the world, her life to start somewhere
