Middle Child

D G
G
I was left alone, A long, long time 
ago
C                               D
By my mother who I never got to know
      C
Faded memories of my life
          G                  C
Have been washed in whiskey nights
        D                          
And I’m living at the bottom of the
 G       C G
 bottle

G
I’ve spent my life on a bar stool 
all alone
      C                            
Never knowing why she sent me from 
   D
my home
          C
Was there something wrong with me?
    G                  C
That no one else could see
          D                        
What’s the reason only I got turned
 G      C G
 away

[Chorus]
     D
Mama please tell me why
          C                 G
You would leave just me behind
You sent me off and then you went 
            D
and had my brother
       C
Before me, a little girl
             G                 C
And they’re the centre of your world
    G                 D        
Mama tell me why’d you leave the 
         G
middle child?

C  G  D  G

G
I should’ve gone back home and ask 
her to her face
C                                  
But my life’s become too much of a 
D
disgrace
      C                        G  
And I got the news today saying 
          C
mama passed away
D                                 
So I’ll never know the reason I’m 
G
alone


[Chorus]
     D
Mama please tell me why
          C                 G
You would leave just me behind
You sent me off and then you went 
            D
and had my brother
       C
Before me, a little girl
             G                 C
And they’re the centre of your world
    G                 D        
Mama tell me why’d you leave the 
         G      C
middle child?
           G          D        
Mama tell me why’d you leave the 
         C     G D G
middle child?
