Verse:
A                  E   E                E
Bursting with empathy, I'm feeling everything
    D                          E
The weight of the world on my shoulders
A                              E
Hope my tears don't freak you out
Bm                         E
They're just kinda coming out
         D                          E  E
It's the music in me and all of the colors

Chorus:
Bm                                          E
Wish we didn't live, wish we didn't live so far from each other
Bm                                                   E 
I'm just sitting here thinking 'bout the time that's slipping
E              D       A
And missing my mother, mother
Bm
And she's probably sitting there
                                E 
Thinking 'bout the time that's slipping
    E           D       A
And missing her mother, mother

How to play Mother on ukulele

Mother is usually fingerpicked on ukulele rather than strummed. If you would rather strum, the whole-bar ballad works as a fallback. It rolls along at a medium pace of around 88 bpm. On this page the song is in A major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Fingerpick gently and let each note ring; the whole song stays hushed.
