Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, Lord


2)
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, Lord

Father will do the best he can, so many things a father can't understand
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, Lord

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, Lord
Sister will do the best she can, so many things a sister can't understand

OUTRO

D            A               D
   When your mother is dead

After the first couple of lines of the outro, the intro is laid in over the chords.
Then it breaks into the main riff
one more time, sounds like it stops, then slides up into an A chord.

That's it, enjoy =)
