Dm
Las I saw Mother she rose from a chair
Gm
When they caught me I'd just finished combing my hair
C Dm
'Cause a rabbit will run, as a colt does along with the mare
[Verse]
Dm
We've all learned the earth while we carried the throne
G
We dove under the rivers and under our clothes
C Dm
Now I still have a prayer, as sure as my settling bones
[Verse]

Last I saw mother she covered my ears
Gm
When they caught me I offered the captain a beer
C Dm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and a lion has nothing to fear

We bricked up the garden and know what it means
Gm
And we've all kissed a virgin as if she were clean

And I still have a prayer, despite all the colors I've seen
[Verse]
Dm
And judgment is just like a cup that we share
Gm
I'll jump over the wall and I'll wait for you there

Well past the weeds and our vision of things to come

We've all heard the rooster and all been denied

And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes

And I still have a prayer, a well-weathered word to the wise
[Break]

We all traded lovers and woke up alone
Gm
And we clapped for the king, though our fingers were cold
C Dm
And I still have a prayer, 'cause I love what I cannot control
[Verse]
Dm
Last I saw mother, she acted surprised
Gm
When they caught me the captain, he cried like a child
C Dm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and good dogs together go wild
[Verse]
Dm
We all live in grace at the end of the day
Gm
And we've armed all the children we thought we'd betrayed

And I still have a prayer, but too few occasions to pray
[Verse]
Dm
And judgment is just like a cup that we share
Gm
I'll jump over the wall and wait for you there
C Dm
Well past the weeds and our visions of things to come

Dm
And we've all found a reason for hiding the gun
Gm
And we've helped out a few if we've hurt anyone
C Dm
And I still have a prayer and so be it, I've done what I've done
[Verse]
Dm
Last I saw mother, she blew me a kiss
Gm
When they caught me the cuffs caught the blood from my wrist
C Dm
'Cause a rabbit will run, and a pig has to lay in it's piss
[Verse]
Dm
We've all given half to the hand in our face
Gm
We've all taken a stone from the holiest place

And I still have a prayer, and I've furthered the world in my wake
