\Chorus/

    C          D        G
No I would not give you false hope
        C          D         G
On this strange and mournful day
        C          D       G   Em
But the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/paul_simon/mother_and_child_tab_ver_2.html ]
\Verse 1/
           Em
Oh, little darling of mine
                D
I can't for the life of me
           Em
Remember a sadder day
                D
I know they say let it be
                       Em
But it just don't work out that way
                    C
And the course of a lifetime runs
         D
Over and over again

\Chorus/
    C          D        G
No I would not give you false hope
        C          D         G
On this strange and mournful day
        C          D       G   Em
But the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away

\Verse 2/
           Em
Oh, little darling of mine
             D
I just can't believe It's so
                Em
Though it seems strange to say
             D
I never been laid so low
              Em
In such a mysterious way
                    C
And the course of a lifetime runs
         D
Over and over again

\Chorus/
    C          D        G
No I would not give you false hope
        C          D         G
On this strange and mournful day
        C          D       G   Em
But the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away

\Coda/
       C          D      G    Em
Oh the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away
       C          D      G    Em      (REPEAT UNTIL FADE-OUT)
Oh the mother and child reunion
   C      G       D
Is only a motion away



So there you go, that is the entire song, with all of the chords in the right place, and 
the intro part, which some of the other tabs were missing.

Hope you enjoyed!
