Jandle I think it is a song that someone could turn into great modern folk song instead of someone like me making a mess of it. But having said that I gave it my best shot.
I hope Beamer didnt mind me having a shot at it. I will take it down soon hopefully someone else will put a version of their own up. Trying to do a punk type song is a lot harder than I imagined.

Peatle .......... great attempt at this song I think i am the same as unclejoesband comment, it would end up being a folk song if i attempted it, never having sung Punk in my life

Hi Beamer I have had a go at doing a Punk Folk version of your song which I have put up on soundcloud for a couple days so you can download it if you want before I take it down.
Sorry I am not very good at Punk. https://soundcloud.com/eatleville/mother-punk-ballad

Those lyrics describe some I have known over the years. Excellent writing which I can imagine it performed perfectly in differant styles. You got the gold Beamer.

I don't do punk either. I would end up turning it into a folk song.

Hey Scott! Great song and great job on the chordpro along with specific chord fingering directions. Now...can you record how it should be played?

Keepit,, Man I dont know whether your lucky or grew up very sheltered (thats a joke) Ill bet a lot of the brit Punk Rocker teens probably have done it a time or so. (American ones also) Huffing paint is a cheap high. anddoes serious damage over time. get a bag , usually paper lunch type, spray any paint into it and put over nose and mouth and kill brain cells. This is a more informed page about it. http://narconon.ca/blog/substance-abuse … ffing.html

Please excuse me for being a bit thick but I've never heard the term "huffing paint". It sounds a bit odd and I'd like to avoid it if possible, so could you please explain it to a not so bright Englishman.

Ok I did the chord pro at work and I may slightly have them in the wrong section. If you play it feel free to move them to where you feel they should be more suited. When I play the D in the verse, I am only hitting the D and G strings open and letting them ring out (like in Ain't talking bout love from Van Halen) hope you all like it. BTW this is more of a controlled angry stretched shout/rant rather than actually sung. umm PUNK LOLOL

[Em]Kissing them and sending them [C5] back to play

[Em]She’s a mother,a lover,a [G] warrior and a saint
