Joshua James - Benediction
==========================
Verse 1
F C
Busted wire and the tattered tongue
Bb F
Songs she wrote but she never sung
F C
Quiet eve of another year
Bb
She'll soon forget
Verse 2
F C
Her blackened lungs from the cigarettes
Bb F
Her mother smoke' when her father left
F C
She sings a song in this side of town
Bb
To change her mind
Chorus
Dm Am
And she said I have hope for others
Bb F C
Father, I have given up
Dm Am
'Cause I have hope for others
Bb Bbm F Ab Bb Db
Father, I---I have given up
F Ab Bb
Verse 3
Quart' to ten in the room below
Busted wares suppose they'll need to know
Close her eyes and hums a song
That made her smile
Verse 4
Grabs a note and reads aloud
"The passion new'd make a mother proud
I miss you so, it seems we all much going on"
Chorus

But Mother, I must go alone
Dm Am
Yes, I have hope for others

Mother, I---I have given up.
