G C
Here she comes now, now
G F
Gone, gone, gone
G C
Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
G F
Got my eyes wide open

C                     F
Ever since I was on cripples Monday
C                      F
Got my eyeballs on my knees, Aww my baby walkin'
C            F
After hours with Mad Mary Williams
C                            F
Said she never understood a word from me, because...

Chorus:
G                            F
I know that she cares about me
                     G
I heard her call my name
                       F
And I know that she's long dead and gone
                     G
Still she ain't the same
                       C
When I wake up in the morning mama
                     G
I heard her call my name
                   C
I know that she's gone, gone, gone
                     G
I heard her call my name
             F
And then my mind split open...

Here she comes now, now
She's gone, gone, gone
Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
Got my eyes wide open

Ever since I was on cripple Monday
Got my eyeballs on my knees
I rapped for hours with Mad Mary Williams
Said she never understood a word from me

Chorus:
Oh, I know she cares about me
I heard her call my name ... ?
(Heard her call my name)
I said that she's long dead and gone
(Heard her call my name)
And still, she ain't the same
(Heard her call my name)
But when I woke up in the morning, mama
(Heard her call my name)
I heard her call my name, long gone
(Heard her call my name)
I know she's dead and long far gone
(Heard her call my name)
And still, I heard her call my name
And then, my mind split open...
