I KNOW IT'S OVER  (5.48)

    C                                                Am7
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
F   G     C
and as I climb into an empty bed
          Am7
oh well, enough said
F G          F              G
I know it's over still I cling
   Em                         G         F         G
I don't know where else I can go, mother

(SAME AS ABOVE)
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
see, the sea wants to take me
the knife wants to slit me
do you think you can help me?

Sad veiled bride, please be happy
handsome groom, give her room
loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
although she needs you more than she loves you

And I know it's over
still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
it's over, it's over, it's over

I know it's over
              F
and it never really began
B               F       G       Am
but in my heart it was so real
F        G                          F G
and you even spoke to me and said:


"If you're so funny
 then why are you on your own tonight?
 and if you're so clever
 then why are you on your own tonight?
 if you're so very entertaining
 then why are you on your own tonight?
 if you're so very good looking
 why do you sleep alone tonight?
                  C
 I know because tonight is just like any other night
                            Am7         F  G
 that's why you're on your own tonight
              C
 with your triumphs and your charms
         Am7
 while they are in each other's arms"

F         G        F
It's so easy to laugh
                  G
it's so easy to hate
             F                      G      Fmaj9  G
it takes strength to be gentle and kind

it's over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
it's so easy to hate
it takes guts to be gentle and kind
it's over, over, over

Love is natural and real
but not for you, my love
not tonight my love
F G      C           F
love is natural and real
G    F              G            Em
but not for such as you and I, my love


Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head

I SAW THIS REQUESTED A WHILE AGO.
SO THIS IS PRETTY ROUGH BUT SHOULD BE ACCURATE. BASICALLY IT'S THE VERSE
PATTERN AND CHORUS PATTERN OVER AND OVER. THE Am7 HERE IS X02213.
