[Verse]
C      Csus2
Oh now Rosie
    C                Csus2
You come home in the morning
              Am7
You've got a child on your knee
         F                C
And your mother she looks on
 
 
[Verse]
           C               Csus2
She says I don't know that baby
        C                   Csus2
I don't know you, why'd you fail me
         Am7               F
You left home seven years ago
                     C
And I wore black for days
 
(bassline walks down C-B-A into chorus)
 
 
[Chorus]
          Am7
Prodigal daughter
   C           D           Am7        D
Returns like a lamb to the slaughter
        D                      Am7
I know forgiveness won't come easy
        Am7
Not for you
 
D                         Am7
Look at the child upon my knee
                Am7
She has eyes of blue

[Verse]
C    Csus2
Mama listen
C             Csus2
Come into the kitchen
            Am7                      F
Pour me some tea, let me sit at your feet
       C
Let me cry
 
 
[Verse]
  C             Csus2
I need a little money
       C               Csus2
I need love and I need Sunday
                Am7                      F
suppers here at home Don't want to be alone
       C
Let me stay
 
 
[Chorus]
         Am7
Prodigal daughter
   C           D           Am7
Returns like a lamb to the slaughter
      D             D              Am7         D
She yearns for the things that you taught her
        D                      Am7
I know forgiveness won't come easy
        Am7    D
Not for me
 
       D                   Am7
But I try to shut the past behind us
               Am7
Throw out the key
