Mothers Pride Chords by George Michael
This is a much easier version… the only tough chord is B, and I typically play it in the
position, muting the top string (too tinny).
To match George Michael’s studio version, tune your guitar down a half note.

Dm G
Oh she knows
C
She takes his hand
Am
And prays the child will understand
Dm G C
At the door they watch the men go by
Am
In the clothes that daddy wore
Bb
Mother’s pride
G
Baby boy
C
His father’s eyes
Am Bb
He’s a soldier waiting for a war
G
Time will come
Gsus4
He’ll hold a gun
G
His father’s son
-repeat intro-
Dm G
And as he grows
C
He hears the band
Am
Takes the step from boy to man
Dm G C
At the shore she waves her son goodbye
Am
Like the man she did before
Bb
Mother’s pride
G
Just a boy
C
His country’s eyes
Am Bb
He’s a soldier waving at the shore
G
And in her heart
Gsus4
the time has come
G
To lose a son
-repeat intro-
Dm G
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
C
They make no difference
Am
No difference in the end
Dm G C
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero
Am
In the name of God and man
Bb
Mother’s pride
G
Crazy boy
C
His lifeless eyes
Am Bb
He’s a soldier now forevermore
G Gsus4 G
<pause> He’ll hold a gun ‘till kingdom come
