Mother Mother - Kept Down Ukulele

[Intro]
Cm Bb D# G#

[Verse 1]
Cm         Bb              D#              G#
If I could talk to all the children in the clouds
Cm           Bb                D#            G#
The ones who couldn't help but take it lying down
Cm       Bb                     D#             G#
I'd say, despite your fate, you made your papa proud
Cm                Bb                D#                 G#
There's just some things a guy like that can't say out loud
G#         G   G#   Bb  Cm               G#
Oh, your mama, well she just didn't know how
G#         G        G# Bb Cm               G#
A thousand years of being told to shut her mouth
         D#
And kept down, down
D#
Down, down
     D#
Kept down, down
D#
Down, down

[Verse 2]
Cm         Bb             D#             G#
If I could steal away the outcast of the class
Cm            Bb               D#              G#
I'd break him out of there and take him to the tracks
Cm           Bb           D#           G#
We'd bet all of it on the horse with a broke back
Cm            Bb                D#                G#
We'd watch it win while all the stallions came in last
G#  G        G#  Bb   Cm                  G#
Oh, boy, you see your odds ain't all that bad
G#      G         G#  Bb Cm                 G#
Slim to none, but not so slim you've got to slip
  D#
Between the cracks
        D#
So come back, come back

[Bridge]
Gm        D#
   Pretty girl
Cm        G#

   Cut out your to--o--ongue

[Outro]
G#     G      G#  Bb  Cm                G#
One by one we let 'em burn off with the sun
G#       G            G#  Bb    Cm          G#      D#
Can only hope they're somewhere finally having some fun
