EVERY MOTHERS SON
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(written by Steve Marriott)
Capo on 1st fret
One two three four
E A B
A B E A
The last time I saw her she was wavin' me goodbye
A B E
She swore no other boy would take my place
A B E A
I took a Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the Bayou
A A A A B
I hoped to find my destiny, my fortune and my face
Chorus:
E A B
Please tell her that I said hello
E A B
Explain to her I didn't wanna go
E F#
But the message from her daddy said
A B
He's gonna see me dead
E B E A
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
B E
She'll never know, never know
E A B E
A B E A
I stayed around, I played around with all those Southern belles
A A B E
But they took away my money and my pride
A B E A
I had no place to go and the rest you know darn well
A A A A B
Livin' out the gutter ain't so easy to describe
A B E A
But I still had my guitar, so I joined a dirty band
A B E
Workin' in a smoky downtown bar
A B E A
When comes along this big wheel with a contract in his hand
A A A A A
Said, 'put your mark along here boy
A A A B
I'm gonna make you a Rock 'n' Roll star'
Chorus:
E A B
Please tell her that I said hello
E A B
Explain to her I didn't wanna to go
E F#
But the message from her daddy said
A B
He's gonna see me dead
E B E A
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
B E A B E
Never know, never know
E A B E
E A B E
E A B
Well the years have come and gone
E A
And I was passing through to find
A A B E
That my home town was still the same to see
E A B E A
Well, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my mind
A A A A A B
I really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me
Chorus:
E A B
Please tell her that I said hello
E A B
Explain to her I didn't wanna to go
E F#
But the message from her daddy said
A B
He's gonna see me dead
E B E A
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
B E A B
Never know, never know
repeat E A B 2 times mmmmmhhh yeah
E B E A
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
B E
Never know, never know
E A B....never know, never know,
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
This and my other post "Cold Lady" are one of the few Humble Pie transcriptions
that can be found on the web, as it seems.
(By the way: These are the only ones, at least I found no others. If you find
any others please let me know!)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official HUMBLE PIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
