[Verse 1]
D G123 ABC it’s true
A DI learned my letters and numbers from you
D GBrother & I burnt ourselves meltin' candy in the microwave and you fixed us up
A DAnd you were there with a cold rag on my forehead every time I threw up
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A DAnd it only takes a spark, you sang to us each night
G D A DAnd we’d laugh ourselves to sleep, readin' ol’ Shel Silverstein
[Chorus]
Bm D A BmAnd Mom you knew, exactly what to do
G D A DYes Mom you knew, exactly what to do
[Verse 2]
D GBroken bones and lots of homes we knew
A DFrom here to there, everywhere, all them towns we went through
D GBoth went crazy, some say we went a little insane
A DMaybe we’re better off with a little bit of fire in the brain
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A DAnd it only takes a spark, you sang to us each night
G D A DAnd we’d laugh ourselves to sleep, readin' ol’ Shel Silverstein
[Chorus]
Bm D A BmAnd Mom you knew, exactly what to do
G D A DYes Mom you knew, exactly what to do
[Verse 3]
D GWe found our faith in a little house down by the creek
A DAnd I've learned a lot from the redneck you married that week
D GYears gone by, brother & I we still get burnt
A DDoin’ like you taught us, lived and learnt
[Outro]
G D A DAnd it only takes a spark, you sang to us each night
G D A DAnd we’d laugh ourselves to sleep, readin' ol’ Shel Silverstein
