Em                    G
Last I saw mother she rose from a chair
          Am                          C
When they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair
         Em                    G                        Am      C
'Cause a rabbit will run, as a colt does along with the mare 
      Em                             G
We've all learned the earth while we carried the throne 
        Am                   C
We dove under the rivers and under our clothes 
      Em                      G                   Am        C
And I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones
