VERSE
G D C D*
Well I've been riding a winning horse
G D C Fill 1
for a long, long time
G D C D*
Sometimes I wonder
G D C Fill 1
is this the end of the line
G D C D*
No one should take advantage
G D C Fill 1
of who they are
G D C D*
No man has got it made
G D C Fill 1
If he thinks he does, he's wrong
CHORUS
G D C Fill 1
Every mother's son
G D C D*
better hear what I'm saying
G D C
Every mother's son
G D C
will rise and fall oneday
VERSE
Seen it happen so many times, so many times before
Some man got so much money he doesn't worry no more
Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine
My friends have all been fools
It happens everytime
CHORUS
VERSE
I'm not tryin' to preach to no one, to no one at all
Seen a lot of my good friends just rise to fall
'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine
Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time
CHORUS
What I say
CHORUS
What I say
Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall oneday
And so it goes...
