Taking Your Life In Your Hands
Intro: Ab Gm Eb Ab Gm Eb Gm Ab Eb
Eb Cm Ab7 Bb
The children are all leaving school today
Eb F7 /A Bb
Mama said, don't worry, I'll be back one day
Eb Cm Ab7 Bb
The blue men in uniform smiled and waved goodbye
Eb F7 /A Bb Intro
She was hiding those tears in her eyes
Eb Cm Ab7 Bb
Roll up the history books, burn the chairs
Eb F7 /A Bb
Set fire to anything, set fire to the air
Gm Fm
They're riding to begin and running at the end
Gm Fm Bb
'Cause mama said, you take your life in your hands
Taking your life, your life in your hands
But don't take your life in your hands like I did
Am Bb Bm C Cm
I don't feel so bad, and always look forward with hope
Bb Eb Intro
Forward and hope that the children will always be there
Cancel the day, cancel the night
Cancel the day, cancel the night
'Cause who could be watching when she steals and runs away
Full of hysterical laughter, and say
Mama, mama, I've left school today
I hope I get to see you in that funny school far away
But those gentle men in blue, and those in grey
Say I'll never, never see mama again
Eb Cm F
'Cause she took those lives in her hands
Eb Cm F
Yes, she took all those lives in her hands
Eb Cm F
Yes, she took those lives in her hands
Ab Eb
But let me wonder, what was there left in those hands?
