Matilda Mother (Alternative Version)

As heard from the 2007 3-CD set of the 40th Anniversary edition
of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

B A G F#

B A G F#
There was a boy whose name was Jim

B A G F#
His friends they were very good to him
B A G F#
They gave him tea and cakes and jam
B A G F#
And slices of delicious ham

G A G E
Oh mother, tell me more.

F#
Why'd ya have to leave me there
F#
Hanging in my infant air
B
Waiting

F#
You only have to read the lines
F#
of scribbly black and ev'rything
E G
Shines

B A G F#
The Chief Defect of Henry King
B A G F#
Chewing little bits of string
B A G F#
At last he swallowed, some which tied
B A G F#
Itself in ugly knots inside

G A
Wondering and dreaming
G E
the words have different meanings
D A E
Yes they did

F# for solo

F#
When finding she was left alone
F#
When tiptoe gives the telephone
B
Nine Nine Nine
F#
Some got the immediate aid
F# E G
Of London's Noble Choir Brigade

B A G F#
For all the time spent in that room
B A G F#
The doll's house darkness old perfume
B A G F#
And fairy stories held me high
B A G F#
On clouds of sunlight floating by

G A G E
Oh mother, tell me more.
D A E
Tell Me More....

E until end
