Mother's Pride

• G#m

Intro:  
G#m  C#m  F#  E  x 2 
 
C#m       F# 
Oh she knows 
       B 
She takes his hand 
Gm 
And prays the child will understand 
C#m            F#             B 
At the door they watch the men go by 
G#m 
In the clothes that daddy wore 
A 
Mother?s pride 
F# 
Baby boy 
B 
His fathers eyes 
G#m                        A 
He?s a soldier waiting for war 
F# 
Time will come 
 
He?ll hold a gun 
 
His father?s son 
 
G#m  C#m  F#  E  x 2 
 
C#m         F# 
  And as he grows 
B 
He hears the band 
G#m 
Takes the step from boy to man 
C#m                  F#              B 
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye 
G#m 
Like the man she did before 
A 
Mother?s pride 
F# 
Just a boy 
B 
His country?s eyes 
G#m                     A 
He?s a soldier waving at the shore 
F# 
And in her heart the time has come 
To lose a son 
 
C#m                                  F# 
And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone 
B 
They make no difference 
G#m 
No difference in the end 
C#m                  F#                   B 
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero 
G#m 
In the name of God and name 
A 
Mother?s pride 
F# 
Crazy boy 
B 
His lifeless eyes 
G#m                        A 
He?s a soldier now forevermore 
F# 
He?ll hold a gun ?till kingdom come
