Mother

D5 G5

[Verse 1]
Dm          Gm    Am            Dm
Born in the east, raised by the west
            Gm  Am       Bb
Torn in between cultural dressings
               Gm    Am        
Both may feel right, but neither 
        Bb
feels whole
            Gm   Am        
Mother, I'm torn between two 
            Dm
different homes

[Interlude]
Dm Gm Am Dm

[Verse 2]
Dm                Gm       Am   
Land filled with pears, and 
    Dm
apricot hues

Dm                    Gm          
The lands filled with mangoes and 
Am        Bb
papayas blooming
Bb           Gm    Am           
Each land of women filled with 
    Bb
rich story
Bb           Gm           
Mother, I’m stuck between two 
Am              Dm
different mornings

[Bridge]
Dm Gm Am Dm
Dm Gm Am Bb

[Verse 3]
A            Gm        Am       
And how dissonant are each of 
     Dm
these bridges
Dm           Gm       Am        
And how resonant are each of 
    Bb
these feelings though
Bb               Gm        Am   
If neither feels right and 
         Bb
neither feels wrong
Bb           Gm       Am        
Mother, my children will speak 
    Dm
in different tongues

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Dm           Gm       Am        
Mother, I'm shy I can't speak 
    Dm
your tongue
Dm           Gm       Am        
Mother, don’t cry I've been 
    Bb
trying again
Bb           Gm       Am        
Trying to be bold as you were before
Bb
 me
Bb           Gm       Am    
I'm leaving the west, I'm going 
       Dm
alone
