Song: Good Mother
By:   Jann Arden

[intro:] 2 X [ Eb  Bb  Cm  Ab  Eb ]

[verse: 1]
Eb       Bb           Cm
I've got money in my pocket
           Ab            Eb
I like the color of my hair
     Bb                Cm
I've got a friend who loves me
            Ab            Eb
Got a house, I've got a car
           Bb           Cm
I've got a good mother
        Ab                     Eb
and her voice is what keeps me here
        Bb
Feet on ground
         Cm
Heart in hand
       Ab            Ab   Ab
Facing forward   Be yourself

[verse: 2]
Eb   Bb  Cm                   Ab
I,          I've never wanted anything
   Eb        Bb    Cm                   Ab
No I've, no I've,    I've never wanted anything
Eb      Bb   Cm  Ab
so bad...       so bad
Eb         Bb                Cm
Cardboard masks of all the people
         Ab
I've been
Eb               Bb              Cm
thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
       Ab                   Eb
dented God Damned miseries
          Bb               Cm
You could say I'm hard to hold
           Ab
But if you knew me you'd know
Eb      Bb              Cm
I've got a good father
        Ab                         Eb
And his strength is what makes me cry
        Bb
Feet on ground
         Cm
Heart in hand
       Ab          Ab      Ab
Facing forward   Be yourself
 

[verse: 3]
Eb   Bb  Cm                   Ab
I,         I've never wanted anything
   Eb       Bb    Cm                   Ab
No I've, no I've,    I've never wanted anything
Eb      Bb   Cm    Ab   Bb {a passing note}
so bad...       so bad

[bridge:] C  G  Am F   C G  Am F   C {a passing note}

[verse:4]  {same as verse 1}
Eb        Bb           Cm
I've got money in my pocket
           Ab               Eb
I like the color of my hair
     Bb                Cm
I've got a friend who loves me
            Ab               Eb
Got a house, I've got a car
