I'VE GOT A DARKNESS
F C
My Mamas Mama, She drank like a fish
Gm Bb
She'd toast to dyin' young, She'd get her wish
F C
Mama could not deal, So she had a son
Gm Bb
Hoping he would heal, The damage done
F C
The good natured child, Was what she called the boy
Gm Bb
His whole point in life, Was to bring her joy
F C
Till one day his tears, Took her by surprise
Gm Bb
She knelt down to dry them off, Saw her Mamas eyes
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light
F C Dm Bb
The pain you leave unfelt, Shall pass to someone else
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness
F C
My Mamas Mama, She had a Mama too
Gm Bb
She came to this country, In her womb
F C
They tell a story, The big boat
Gm Bb
They were tired and hungry, But full of hope
F C
'An they'd seen the darkside, The great war
Gm Bb
They'd escaped with their lives, But not much more
F C
An' for their unborn baby, They'd pray to God
Gm Bb
For us it's too late, But for her it's not
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light
F C Dm Bb
The pain you leave unfelt, Shall pass to someone else
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness
F C
I go back in my mind, To my boyhood home
Gm Bb
The good natured child, When he was alone
F C
A tree there, To which I used to pray
Gm Bb
That God is dead to me now, But the prayer remains
F C
Let me feel what I feel, Let me feel it now
Gm Bb
Be it good or evil, Let it all come out
F C
So my tired Mama, She may rest in peace
Gm Bb
And my unborn children, May be born free
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light
F C Dm Bb
I've got a darkness, Help me see in the light
F C Dm Bb
The pain you leave unfelt, Shall pass to someone else
F C Dm Bb F
I've got a darkness, I've got a darkness
