Rory McLeod – Shirleys Her Name chords

[Verse 1] 
             C                                 AmWell it's so good to leave home 'cause it's so good to come back home
        C                  AmThere's no easier place to find on a map
    C                          AmShe cried to see us go and she cried to see us back
               C                          AmThere's no one else in the world who ever loved us like that


[Chorus]

                    Cbut we call her our mum

[Verse 2]
         C                        AmWell she feeds us like we haven't eaten for weeks
    C                            AmShe spoils us and still wants to rock us to sleep
    C                             AmShe woke us up, cooked for us and washed our clothes
            C                              AmShe used to kiss our knees better, wipe my bubbly nose


[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
              AmWell she's so easy to please and she's so easily hurt
    DShe loved us even when we're covered in dirt
G                           COur mum works all night and day
            AmAnd she's a nurse when we fall, a policeman when we fight
  DA judge when we argue and a singer at night
G                                COur mum worked but she never got paid

         C                             AmWell you ought to see the way that she serves us
    C                 AmShe leaves herself to last
               C                           AmAnd there were times when we wouldn't even help her and
      C               AmShe'd be too tired to ask
             C                      AmWell she's a cook, a washerwoman, a teacher and a wife
C                                AmShe's our mum, she's the one who worked for our lives
