[Intro]
  A  E6/AD6/AA  E6/AD6/A
|  |   |  |   |
  A  E6/AD6/AA  E6D6
|  |   |  |   |
[Verse 1]
          A
When it's up to you
   E6/A          D6/A      A
To figure what's right and wrong
     E6/A    D6/A     A
It's someone else's parade
    E6          D6      A        E6/A   D6/A
And yours is an unhappy song
[Verse 2]
                 A
When it hurts so bad
        E6/A          D6/A     A
And you feel that you can't go on
E6/A          D6/A   A
Each day goes by too fast
        E6         D6      A
And the nights are so very long
[Chorus]
                E
You'll find out true
     D              Bm
What mother said to you
              A        D            E
That tears of God will show you the way
            A  E6/AD6/AA  E6/AD6/A
          |  |   |  |   |
The way to turn
[Verse 3]
          A
When your only escape
     E6/A  D6/A   A
Is a cheap nickel wine
        E6/A      D6/A         A
And the peace you need in your heart
      E6   D6      A       E6/A   D6/A
Is so very hard to find
[Verse 4]
       A
It's a stubborn life we lead
    E6/A          D6/A  A
And there's never no    rest
E6/A          D6/A          A/C#
Trouble's out there looking for you
     E6       D6       A
Even when you try your best
[Chorus]
                E
You'll find out true
     D              Bm
What mother said to you
             A        D            E
The tears of God will show you the way
[Middle 8]
           D7
The way to turn
              A7
Hide not your head
           D7
The way to turn
                  A7
Hear what he once said
                   D7
He'll show you the way
               A/E               D/E
For there is a world for you and me
          G/E         E
                    * 
Where the blind too can see
                      A  E6/AD6/AA  E6/AD6/A
                    |  |   |  |   |
Through the tears of God
[Verse 5]
    A
The son of the maker said
E6/A       D6/A     A
This is my cross to bear
E6/A   D6/A       A
Taking off of our shoulders
          E6 D6          A
Something we should have shared
[Chorus] (+ coda)
                E
You'll find out true
     D              Bm
What mother said to you
              A        D            E
That tears of God will show you the way
            A  E6D6 A
