Garth Brooks has done it again with his new album release, Man Against the Machine. Yesterday he performed a tear-jerker of a song on Good Morning America, "Mom." Are you going to add this to your setlist?

TAKEN FROM A TAB SITE - - - chords seem to have gotten pushed left while copying. These chords are available at most tab sites.


D A
A little baby told God, Hey I'm kinda scared
Bm F#m
Don't really know if I wanna go down there
G D
Because from here it looks like a little blue ball
Em A
But that's a great big place and I'm so small

D A
Why can't I just stay here with you
Bm F#m
Did I make you mad, don't you want me, too
G D
And God said, 'Oh child, of course I do
Em A
But there's somebody special that's waiting for you


Chorus:
D D/F# G
So hush now baby, don't you cry
A D A
Cause there's someone down there waiting who's only goal in life
D D/F# G G/F#
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
Em G/F# G G/F#
A loving angel, tender touch is strong
Em A D
It's almost time to go and meet your Mom


Bridge:
Bm G
Now when she's talkin' to you, make sure you listen close
Em A D
Cause she's gonna teach you everything you'll ever need to know
Bm G
Like how to mind your manners, to love and laugh and dream
Em A
And she'll put you on the path that'll bring you back to me

I certainly am. Maybe tonight or tomorrow! Garth said that next to The Dance, it was his favorite song.

Not for me, though it's a good song.

Cheers,

Great tune ... I really like "The Dance", but "If Tomorrow Never Comes" is my favorite Garth song ...
This might work with one of the 'Unplugged' styles, or even with just a guitar arpeggio pad ...

Loved it, so pretty Garth is amazing clap headphone
I do a few GB songs like "If Tomorrow Never Comes",
"Friends In Low Places", "Two PIna Coladas" but this lovely ballad I'll just add to my USB drive in my car radio to listen to. Not a song I would use on stage for my needs.
