Bm
Last I saw mother she rose from a chair 
          Em
When they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair 
          A                                              Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, as a colt does along with the mare
Bm
We've all learned the earth while we carried the throne 
        Em
We dove under the rivers and under our clothes 
       A                                           Bm
Now I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones 
Bm
Last I saw mother she covered my ears 
           Em
When they caught me I offered the captain a beer 
           A                                          Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and a lion has nothing to fear 
Bm
We bricked up the garden and know what it means 
          Em
And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean 
       A                                                Bm
And I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seen 
Bm
And judgment is just like a cup that we share 
          Em
I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there 
A                                              Bm
Well past the weeds and our vision of things to come 
Bm
We've all heard the rooster and all been denied 
          Em
And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes 
       A                                                Bm
And I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wise

Bm
Last I saw mother she smelled like a rose 
           Em
When they caught me the captain, he opened my nose 
           A                                                  Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and the wind takes a bird where it blows 
Bm
We all traded lovers and woke up alone 
        Em
And we clapped for the king, though our fingers were cold 
       A                                               Bm
And I still have a prayer, 'cause I love what I cannot control 
Bm
Last I saw mother, she acted surprised 
           Em
When they caught me the captain, he cried like a child 
          A                                          Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and good dogs together go wild 
Bm
We all live in grace at the end of the day 
          Em
And we've armed all the children we thought we'd betrayed 
       A                                             Bm
And I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to pray 
Bm
And judgment is just like a cup that we share 
      Em
I'll jump over the wall and wait for you there 
A                                                 Bm
Well past the weeds and our visions of things to come 
Bm
And we've all found a reason for hiding the gun 
          Em
And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone 
       A                                                     Bm
And I still have a prayer and so be it, I've done what I've done 
Bm
Last I saw mother, she blew me a kiss 
           Em
When they caught me the cuffs caught the blood from my wrist 
           A                                            Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and a pig has to lay in it's piss 
Bm
We've all given half to the hand in our face 
           Em
We've all taken a stone from the holiest place 
       A                                                       Bm
And I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my wake
