Mothers Pride Chords by George Michael

This is a much easier version� the only tough chord is B, and I typically play it in the
position, muting the top string (too tinny).

To match George Michael�s studio version, tune your guitar down a half note.

Gsus4:
E |---|---|-4-|--------|
B |---|---|-3-|--------|

G 0---|---|---|--------|
D 0---|---|---|--------|
A |---|---|-1-|--------| (make sure you hear this C note)
E |---|---|-2-| ----|

Oh she knows

She takes his hand

And prays the child will understand

At the door they watch the men go by

In the clothes that daddy wore

His father�s eyes

His father�s son

And as he grows

He hears the band

Like the man she did before

Just a boy

His country�s eyes

And in her heart

the time has come

To lose a son

-repeat intro-

And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone

They make no difference

No difference in the end

In the name of God and man

Crazy boy

His lifeless eyes

He�s a soldier now forevermore
