              I'VE GOT A DARKNESS

 F                C
   My Mamas Mama,   She drank like a fish
 Gm                           Bb
   She'd toast to dyin' young,   She'd get her wish
 F                      C
   Mama could not deal,   So she had a son
 Gm                    Bb
   Hoping he would heal,  The damage done
 F                        C
   The good natured child,  Was what she called the boy
 Gm                        Bb
   His whole point in life,  Was to bring her joy
 F                         C
   Till one day his tears,   Took her by surprise
 Gm                              Bb
   She knelt down to dry them off,  Saw her Mamas eyes

 F               C      Dm        Bb
   I've got a darkness,   Help me see in the light
 F               C      Dm        Bb
   I've got a darkness,   Help me see in the light
 F               C           Dm                Bb
   The pain you leave unfelt,  Shall pass to someone else
 F               C        Dm                Bb
   I've got a darkness

 F               C
   My Mamas Mama,  She had a Mama too
 Gm                        Bb
   She came to this country,  In her womb
 F                   C
   They tell a story,  The big boat
 Gm                           Bb
   They were tired and hungry,   But full of hope
 F                              C
   'An they'd seen the darkside,  The great war
 Gm                               Bb
   They'd escaped with their lives,  But not much more
 F                            C
   An' for their unborn baby,   They'd pray to God
 Gm                    Bb
   For us it's too late,   But for her it's not

 F               C      Dm        Bb
   I've got a darkness,   Help me see in the light
 F               C      Dm        Bb
   I've got a darkness,   Help me see in the light
 F               C           Dm                Bb
   The pain you leave unfelt,  Shall pass to someone else
 F               C        Dm                Bb
   I've got a darkness

 F                      C
   I go back in my mind,  To my boyhood home
 Gm                      Bb
   The good natured child,   When he was alone
 F                C
   A tree there,    To which I used to pray
 Gm                          Bb
   That God is dead to me now,  But the prayer remains
 F                         C
   Let me feel what I feel,  Let me feel it now
 Gm                  Bb
   Be it good or evil,   Let it all come out
 F                  C
   So my tired Mama,  She may rest in peace
 Gm                      Bb
   And my unborn children,  May be born free

 F               C      Dm        Bb
   I've got a darkness,   Help me see in the light
 F               C      Dm        Bb
   I've got a darkness,   Help me see in the light
 F               C           Dm                Bb
   The pain you leave unfelt,  Shall pass to someone else
 F               C      Dm              Bb      F
   I've got a darkness,   I've got a darkness
