This is one of the first songs I ever
learned, it is quite beautiful. This is
a post of how I remember figuring it out
about seven years ago. I am not sure if all
the lyrics are correct. It is arranged
for a nylon string acoustic guitar playing
mostly open cords.
Mother and Child Reunion
By: Paul Simon
CRD by: Jonah Colman
C C D D G G G G
No I would not give you false hope
C C D D G G G G
on this strange and mournful day
C C D D G G Em Em
but the mother and child reunion
Am Am G G D D D D
is only a moment away....
D D Em Em Em Em
o.o.oh little darling of mine
D D D D
I can't for the life of me
Em Em Em Em
remember a sadder day
D D D D
I know they say let it be
Em Em Em Em
but it just don't work out that way
C C C C
And the course of a lifetime runs
D D D D
over and over again
C C D D G G G G
But I would not give you false hope, No!
C C D D G G G G
on this strange and mournful day
C C D D G G Em Em
but the mother and child reunion
Am Am G G D D D D
is only a motion away
D D Em Em Em Em
o.o.oh little darling of mine
D D D D
I just can't believe its so
Em Em Em Em
and though it seems strange to say
D D D D
I've never been laid so low
Em Em Em Em
in such a mysterious way
C C C C
And the course of a lifetime runs
D D D D
over and over again
C C D D G G G G
But I would not give you false hope, No!
C C D D G G G G
on this strange and mournful day
C C D D G G Em Em
but the mother and child reunion
Am Am G G D D D D G
is only a motion away..away..away away
PEACE: JJC
