5  6   -6  -6   6   -4    5    6  
No I would not give you false hope
5   6     -6    -6    6  -4  5 4
On this strange and mournful day
 5   6  -6 -6   6    6    6 5 4
But the mother and child reunion
4  -5 -5 6  5 -4  4 4 3
Is only- a motion a-way, 
5 -4 4   5  4   -4 4   4   4
oh----, little darling of mine

6  6     6   5   6   5  -4
I can't for the life of me
3 -4 -4  5  -4 4   5
Remember a sadder day
4  6    6   -6  6   6  5 -4
I know they say let it be--
 3  3   -4   -4    5   -4   4    4
But it just don't work out that way
 4   4    5    -4 5  -4  4    4
And the course of a lifetime runs
-5 -5  5  -4 -4 -4 -3
Over- and over- again

5  6  -6   -6   6   -4    5    6
No I would not give you false hope
5   6     -6     7   -6   6  -6 6 5 6    
On this strange and mournful day-----
 5    6  -6 -6   6    6   6  5  4
When the mother and child reunion
4  -5 -5 6  5 -4  4 5 -4
Is only- a motion away--,
5 -4 4   5  4   -4 4   4   4 
oh----, little darling of mine

4  6     6   5   6   5  -4
I just can't believe It's so
 3    -4   -4  5      -4    4   5
and though it seems strange to say
4  6 6   5    6   -6 6 5 -4
I never been laid so low---
3  -4  -4 5 -4  4  4 5 4
In such a mysterious way
 4   4    5    -4 5  -4  4    4
And the course of a lifetime runs
-5 -5  5  -4 -4 -4 -3
Over- and over- again

 5  6  -6   -6   6   -4    5    6
But I would not give you false hope
5   6     -6     7   -6   6  -6 6 5 6    
On this strange and mournful day-----
 5    6  -6 -6   6    6   6  5  4
When the mother and child reunion
4  -5 -5 6  5 -4  4 5 -4
Is only- a motion away--,
5 -4 4   5  4   -4 4   4   4 
oh----, little darling of mine

5   5  -5 -5  -4    6   6  4  4 
Oh the mother and child reunion
4  -5 -5 -5 6  6  6 5 4
Is only- a motion away-
5   5  -5 -5  -4    6   6  5  4
Oh the mother and child reunion
4  -5 -5 6  5 -4  4 5 -4
Is only- a moment away--
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
