Oh the feeling
C/E G

when you're reeling
(C)D
you step lightly thinking you're number one

brush your eyebrows and say
(C)D
there's more beauty in you than anyone
Em D G
oh remember who walked the warm sand beside you
(C)Em D G
?move to your heel? let the waves come rushing in
Em D C
she took the worry from your head
C
but then again she put trouble in your heart instead
and you fall

when you're thinking of your mothers only son

* is a strum, to give some idea of timing in the verses
small case letters are individual notes, (not chords)
h is a hammer on
p is a pull off
(C)D, (C)Em, etc. means strum the C real quick, then change *immediately*
to the next chord...sometimes she misses out the C entirely
in the intro & outro, emphasise the low notes in the D (=?D5 (xx023x))
