Subject: CRD: Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon

This is one of the first songs I ever
learned, it is quite beautiful. This is
a post of how I remember figuring it out
about seven years ago. I am not sure if all
the lyrics are correct. It is arranged
for a nylon string acoustic guitar playing
mostly open cords.



Mother and Child Reunion
By: Paul Simon
CRD by: Jonah Colman

C C D D G G G G
No I would not give you false hope

C C D D G G G G
on this strange and mournful day

C C D D G G Em Em
but the mother and child reunion
Am Am G G D D D D
is only a moment away....


D D Em Em Em Em
o.o.oh little darling of mine
D D D D
I can't for the life of me

Em Em Em Em
remember a sadder day

D D D D
I know they say let it be

Em Em Em Em
but it just don't work out that way
C C C C
And the course of a lifetime runs
D D D D
over and over again



C C D D G G G G
But I would not give you false hope, No!

C C D D G G G G
on this strange and mournful day

C C D D G G Em Em
but the mother and child reunion

Am Am G G D D D D
is only a motion away



D D Em Em Em Em
o.o.oh little darling of mine

D D D D
I just can't believe its so

Em Em Em Em
and though it seems strange to say

D D D D
I've never been laid so low

Em Em Em Em
in such a mysterious way

C C C C
And the course of a lifetime runs

D D D D
over and over again



C C D D G G G G
But I would not give you false hope, No!

C C D D G G G G
on this strange and mournful day

C C D D G G Em Em
but the mother and child reunion

Am Am G G D D D D G
is only a motion away..away..away away
