I think I've kinda got the chords and the piano part, but once it starts adding guitar solos and shit I'm lost. Embarassed

It's pretty awesome though. I've been working on the piano part for the last hour. I'm so proud of myself.


you think you can help me on the chords?

when jack was born, he winked at mom
her pretty face was the first he saw
was jack wrong cuz he loved mom?
things went bad 'fore they got worse
mom would pinch jack until it hurt
mama thought her boy was cursed

you leave, you leave, you leave that boy to me
oh mom, i love you
you leave that boy to me
you leave (leave), you leave (leave)
you leave that boy to me
i know his condition and soon he'll be set free

off at school jack was cruel
he'd become the bully's bull
was jack wrong to mimic mom?
and after school from the corner stool
mom was kissing on the golden rule
jack had become the teacher's fool

you leave, you leave, you leave that man to me
oh, mom, i love you and soon you will be free
with my will and my hands like old solomon
and in your honor, i'm gonna cut that man in half

all the lessons mama would teach
books from rome and ancient greece
men push rocks up stony mountains
turning one fish into five thousand
and a king went blind from his mother's love
a terrible rage came over jack
his mama lying on her back
the one who taught him right from wrong
but knew no better all along
well she got ran through
and jack killed his mom

don't leave, don't leave, don't leave this world to me
oh, mom, i love you
i didn't mean to set you free
with my will and my hands
like old solomon
oh, mom, i love you
i didn't mean to set you free

was jack wrong? jack killed mom

"mom was kissing on the golden rule"

what does this line mean?

yes, i know what The Golden Rule is:
Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

but i'm not sure i understand it in this context.

also - from one article they seemed to infer that the mom was sexually abusing jack, but it seems more physical abuse to me.
