MAmum is sGtanding by thAme windowE  
She stands there Gevery dayC  
WEaiting for the Csound
Of the Ekey in the Amlock
With the Dmbell that Esays I'm Amhome
As the sailor Gleaving AmearlyE  
He Amsaid his Glast gooCdbye
WiEthout even Cknowing
About a Estorm so Amheavy
And Dmeven for the best man
It Ecame without a Amwarning
And our Fhome
Went dark and Ccold
It became the Etoo
Of our bleeding Fhearts
So tell me
Tell me where home Cis
CAmold cheats an Eempty bAmed
WEhere home Amwas
It Amwas a house of Glove and good AmlivingE  
A Ampeaceful Ghappy hCome
FoEr us and for Cthem
Those Elonely drAmifters
They oDmwe Gotham Inn
WaErmed up by Amfire
And our Fhome
Went dark and Ccold
It became the Etoo
Of our bleeding Fhearts
So tell me
Tell me where home Cis
CAmold cheats an Eempty bAmed
WEhere home Amwas
And our Fhome
Went dark and Ccold
It became the Etoo
Of our bleeding Fhearts
So tell me
Tell me where home Cis
CAmold cheats an Eempty bAmed
WEhere home Amwas
MAmum is sGtanding by thAme windowE  
She stands there Gevery dayC  
WEaiting for the Csound
Of the Ekey in the Amlock
With the Dmbell that Esays I'm Amhome

Chords in this song · guitar

Am G Am E

Mum is standing by the window

G C

She stands there every day

E C

Waiting for the sound

E Am

Of the key in the lock

Dm E Am

With the bell that says I'm home

G Am E

As the sailor leaving early

Am G C

He said his last goodbye

E C

Without even knowing

E Am

About a storm so heavy

And even for the best man

E Am

It came without a warning

And our home

Went dark and cold

It became the too

Of our bleeding hearts

So tell me

Tell me where home is

Am E Am

Cold cheats an empty bed

E Am

Where home was

Am G Am E

It was a house of love and good living

Am G C

A peaceful happy home

E C

For us and for them

E Am

Those lonely drifters

They owe Gotham Inn

E Am

Warmed up by fire

And our home

Went dark and cold

It became the too

Of our bleeding hearts

So tell me

Tell me where home is

Am E Am

Cold cheats an empty bed

E Am

Where home was

And our home

Went dark and cold

It became the too

Of our bleeding hearts

So tell me

Tell me where home is

Am E Am

Cold cheats an empty bed

E Am

Where home was

Am G Am E

Mum is standing by the window

G C

She stands there every day

E C

Waiting for the sound

E Am

Of the key in the lock

Dm E Am

With the bell that says I'm home
