That Was Your Mother chords by Paul Simon, Sting
Verse 1
D
A
D
A long
time ago, yeah,
before you was born, dude
A
D
When I was still single and life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
A
D
That kept me moving from state to state
Well, I'm standing on
the corner of Lafayette,
state of Louisiana
A
D
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation,
drink a little red wine
A
Catch a little bit of those
Cajun girls
D
A
D
A
dancing the zydeco
D
Bm
A
D
A law called me a young girl,
she's pretty as a prayer book
A
D
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I said good gracious, can this be my luck
A
If that's my prayer book,
E
A
D
Lord, let us pray
Well, I'm standing on
the corner of my fire,
A
state of Louisiana
D
Em
D
Wondering what a city boy could do
To get her in a conversation,
maybe drink a little red wine
A
D
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier,
A
D
the king of the bayou
Well that was your mother,
that was your father
A
Before you was born, dude,
D
when life was great
Now you are the burden of my generation
A
I sure do love you,
D
but let's get that straight
Well I'm standing on
a corner of Lafayette,
across the street from the Public,
A
D
heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation,
drink a little red wine,
A
standing in the shadow of Clifton Chen
D
D
A
ier dancing the night away
D
You
That Was Your Mother
