Bm
Last I saw mother she rose from a chair
Em
When they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair
A Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, as a colt does along with the mare
Bm
We've all learned the earth while we carried the throne
Em
We dove under the rivers and under our clothes
A Bm
Now I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones
Bm
Last I saw mother she covered my ears
Em
When they caught me I offered the captain a beer
A Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and a lion has nothing to fear
Bm
We bricked up the garden and know what it means
Em
And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean
A Bm
And I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seen
Bm
And judgment is just like a cup that we share
Em
I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there
A Bm
Well past the weeds and our vision of things to come
Bm
We've all heard the rooster and all been denied
Em
And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes
A Bm
And I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wise
(Break / Solo -- Continue playing chords as above)
Bm
Last I saw mother she smelled like a rose
Em
When they caught me the captain, he opened my nose
A Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and the wind takes a bird where it blows
Bm
We all traded lovers and woke up alone
Em
And we clapped for the king, though our fingers were cold
A Bm
And I still have a prayer, 'cause I love what I cannot control
Bm
Last I saw mother, she acted surprised
Em
When they caught me the captain, he cried like a child
A Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and good dogs together go wild
Bm
We all live in grace at the end of the day
Em
And we've armed all the children we thought we'd betrayed
A Bm
And I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to pray
Bm
And judgment is just like a cup that we share
Em
I'll jump over the wall and wait for you there
A Bm
Well past the weeds and our visions of things to come
Bm
And we've all found a reason for hiding the gun
Em
And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone
A Bm
And I still have a prayer and so be it, I've done what I've done
Bm
Last I saw mother, she blew me a kiss
Em
When they caught me the cuffs caught the blood from my wrist
A Bm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and a pig has to lay in it's p**s
Bm
We've all given half to the hand in our face
Em
We've all taken a stone from the holiest place
A Bm
And I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my wake
Bm
Em
