-VERSE-
G Am7 C Em
Please mother mercy take me from this place
G Am7 C F
And the long winded curses I keep hearing in my head
G Am7 C Em
Words never listen and teachers never learn
G Am7 C F
Now I'm warm from the candle but I feel to cold to burn
-PRE-CHORUS-
He came from an island and he died from the street

G Bb6 Em7/A Cadd9
He hurt so bad like a soul breaking but he never said nothing to me
-CHORUS-
(N.C.) G D C7
Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven
(N.C.) G D C7
Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven
-VERSE-
G Am7 C Em
New like a baby, lost like a prayer
G Am7 C F
The sky was your playground but the cold ground was your bed
G Am7 C Em
Poor stargazer she's got no tears in her eyes
G Am7 C F
Smooth like a whisper she knows that love heals all wounds with time
-VERSE-
G Am7 C Em
I never wanted to write these words down for you
G Am7 C F
With these pages of phrases of things we'll never do
G Am7 C Em
So I blow out the candle and I put you to bed
G Bb6
Since you can't say to me how the dogs broke your bone
B C
There's just one thing left to be said ..yeah..

| It's such a great song. The whole album is great, one of the best bands ever. I understand why they didn't make more records, but I wish they did. Chris Cornell has a great voice. | |

| This is an amazing song. A beautiful dedication to a lost brother... My boyfriend turned me on to Temple of the Dog and Mother Love Bone. Now I enjoy the music probably more than him. We lose all the greats early. | |

| I think it's about someone close to you dying or maybe about the songwriter losing someone close to them. either way it's a beautiful song and I'm surprised that more people haven't commented on it. | |
