G           C
She was the love of mine
D                      G     Em
And I held her hand in mine
            A              D             C
She has the mercy like the rising of the sea
G             C               D
She opened my eyes to wonder
                G               Em
In my wandering eyes I held her
        A                D                Cadd9  C
In this moment her soul became a part of me

[Chorus]
D         G
Mother of mine
           C                  D
You are the light that always shines
 Em           C           Cadd9    D
Into the world you let me see

[Verse 2]
G            C           D
She was the love of mine and we
           G              Em
We had the best of times
               A
We watched the ships sail
       D             Cadd9   C
At the fading of the day

G            C
She wore the color green
 D                    G                  Em
And she talked of the things she'd seen
         A
Now only love remains
 D                    Cadd9    C
When all has come and gone

[Chorus]
D         G
Mother of mine
          C                   D
You are the light that always shines
Em       C             Cadd9    C
Into the world you let me see
D         G
Mother of mine
            C                 D
You are the light that always shines
Em          C                  Cadd9    C
Now I carry you as you carried me

[Outro]
G           C
She was the love of mine
D              G
And I held her hand in mine
