Subject: CRD: Mother and Child Reunion by Paul Simon

This is one of the first songs I ever

learned, it is quite beautiful. This is

a post of how I remember figuring it out

about seven years ago. I am not sure if all

the lyrics are correct. It is arranged

for a nylon string acoustic guitar playing

mostly open cords.

Mother and Child Reunion

By: Paul Simon

CRD by: Jonah Colman

C C D D G G G G

No I would not give you false hope

C C D D G G G G

on this strange and mournful day

C C D D G G Em Em

but the mother and child reunion

Am Am G G D D D D

is only a moment away....

D D Em Em Em Em

o.o.oh little darling of mine

D D D D

I can't for the life of me

Em Em Em Em

remember a sadder day

D D D D

I know they say let it be

Em Em Em Em

but it just don't work out that way

C C C C

And the course of a lifetime runs

D D D D

over and over again

C C D D G G G G

But I would not give you false hope, No!

C C D D G G G G

on this strange and mournful day

C C D D G G Em Em

but the mother and child reunion

Am Am G G D D D D

is only a motion away

D D Em Em Em Em

o.o.oh little darling of mine

D D D D

I just can't believe its so

Em Em Em Em

and though it seems strange to say

D D D D

I've never been laid so low

Em Em Em Em

in such a mysterious way

C C C C

And the course of a lifetime runs

D D D D

over and over again

C C D D G G G G

But I would not give you false hope, No!

C C D D G G G G

on this strange and mournful day

C C D D G G Em Em

but the mother and child reunion

Am Am G G D D D D G

is only a motion away..away..away away
