MOTHER & CHILD REUNION          PAUL SIMON

       C        D       G
No I would not give you false hope
        C           D        G
on this strange and mournful day
        C         D        G   Em
but the mother and child reunion 
   Am      G        D       
is only a moment away....


D              Em
o.o.oh little darling of mine
                 D
I can't for the life of me
          Em
remember a sadder day
                D
I know they say let it be
                      Em
but it just don't work out that way
                    C
And the course of a lifetime runs
         D 
over and over again

       C        D        G       
But I would not give you false hope, No!
           C         D        G
on this strange and mournful day
         C           D     G  Em
but the mother and child reunion
   Am      G       D
is only a motion away

D              Em 
o.o.oh little darling of mine 
                D
I just can't believe its so
                   Em
and though it seems strange to say
               D
I've never been laid so low
         Em
in such a mysterious way 
                    C
And the course of a lifetime runs
         D
over and over again

       C         D        G       
But I would not give you false hope, No!
          C           D      G
on this strange and mournful day
         C           D     G  Em
but the mother and child reunion
    Am      G       D                  G
is only a motion away..away..away  away                                        PEACE: JJC
