Tony Joe White - Ol Mother Earth Chords

[Verse]
A
Ol' mother earth
D                      E     F#m
They have made so many scars upon your face
C#                          F#m          D        Bm
And the beauty you once had can never be replaced
E    C#m
Long for wild earth
D                E                      F#m
You were pounted by the meters from the sky
C#m
But you did no die
D                     E
And now the ones that you have loved
A                  F#m
Are taking you for granted
             C#m
Here they're so inchanted
A                        E
By the progress they can make
D           E
They never stop to think
         C#m                F#m
Just how much that you can take
D
Mother earth
                E                        C#
Take us back to when the proud ones lived
         D                     E
They only took what you would give

[Verse]
A
Mother earth
                 E           F#m
Tonight before I lay my body down
     C#          F#m         D           E
I'll pray to the Lord that a way can be found
                   C#m
And if bad goes to Works
    D            E            F#m
The Lord help me try to do my best
      C#m         D
Until once again, mother earth
     E             A
You hold me to your breast
