Chorus: Em Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child So far from home Em This was life and this was safer All was strange and always stranger A latent hate but so much later I'm never safe from all this danger The demon's eyes and demon satyr I was bait but what would bait her? Don't know my needs, don't know my ways, sir I hide my face, no way to face her This was loss, this was name This was my truth, this was no game This was not hope, this was not sane And from these broken places made That was loss and this was later I wanted less but nothing greater I couldn't leave, I couldn't stay, sir Like a motherless child Chorus Em This was loss and this was later Always hate but never hate her Bm I laid in wait but so much later And never safe from all this danger The demon's eyes, the demon satyr I was bait, but what would bait her Don't know my needs, don't know my ways, sir I hide my face, no way to face her Em This was loss, this was name This was my truth, this was no game This was not hope, this was not sane And from these broken places made D That was loss and this was later I wanted less but nothing greater I couldn't leave, I couldn't stay, sir Like a motherless child Chorus So far from home | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsBm D Em Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
