Verse
E A
She was the love of mine
B E C#m
And I held her hand in mine
F# B A
She has the mercy like the rising of the sea

She opened my eyes to wonder
E C#m
In my wandering eyes I held her
F# B Aadd9 C
In this moment her soul became a part of me
[Chorus]

Mother of mine

You are the light that always shines
C#m A Cadd9 B
Into the world you let me see
[Verse 2]
E A B
She was the love of mine and we
E C#m
We had the best of times
F#
We watched the ships sail
B Aadd9 C
At the fading of the day
E A
She wore the color green
B E C#m
And she talked of the things she'd seen
F#
Now only love remains
B Aadd9 C
When all has come and gone
[Chorus]

Mother of mine

You are the light that always shines
C#m A Aadd9 C
Into the world you let me see
B E
Mother of mine
A B
You are the light that always shines
C#m A Aadd9 C
Now I carry you as you carried me
[Outro]
E A
She was the love of mine
B E
And I held her hand in mine
