E5                   D5                       E5
Dear mother can you hear me whining?

                          D5                                G5                        B5
It's been three whole weeks since that I have left your home

E5                    D5                   E5
This sudden fear has left me trembling

                       D5                       G5                   B5
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own

              G5             B5
And I'm feeling so alone

[chorus]
E                     G                                     A5                   C5
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes

E5                  G                           B5
Some call it slums, some call it nice

   E                          G                                  A5                   C5      E     B
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home

                    E5       
Welcome to paradise

D5   A5   E5   D5   A5

E5                D5                   E5
A gunshot rings out at the station

               D5                         G5                    B5
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own

E5                  D5                      E5
It makes me wonder why I'm still here

                              D5                      G5                   B5
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home

               G5               B5
And I'm never gonna go

[chorus]...

Dear mother can you hear me laughing?

                      D5                                   G5                   B5
It's been six whole months since that I have left your home

E5                D5                     E5

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

                              D5                     G5                    B5
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
