I'VE GOT A DARKNESS

F C

My Mamas Mama, She drank like a fish

Gm Bb

She'd toast to dyin' young, She'd get her wish

F C

Mama could not deal, So she had a son

Gm Bb

Hoping he would heal, The damage done

F C

The good natured child, Was what she called the boy

Gm Bb

His whole point in life, Was to bring her joy

F C

Till one day his tears, Took her by surprise

Gm Bb

She knelt down to dry them off, Saw her Mamas eyes

F C Dm Bb

I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light

F C Dm Bb

I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light

F C Dm Bb

The pain you leave unfelt, Shall pass to someone else

F C Dm Bb

I've got a darkness

F C

My Mamas Mama, She had a Mama too

Gm Bb

She came to this country, In her womb

F C

They tell a story, The big boat

Gm Bb

They were tired and hungry, But full of hope

F C

'An they'd seen the darkside, The great war

They'd escaped with their lives, But not much more

An' for their unborn baby, They'd pray to God

For us it's too late, But for her it's not

I go back in my mind, To my boyhood home

Gm Bb

The good natured child, When he was alone

F C

A tree there, To which I used to pray

Gm Bb

That God is dead to me now, But the prayer remains

F C

Let me feel what I feel, Let me feel it now

Gm Bb

Be it good or evil, Let it all come out

F C

So my tired Mama, She may rest in peace

Gm Bb

And my unborn children, May be born free

F C Dm Bb

I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light

I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light
