Mama said (midi)

Am - G - Em Am - G - Em

Am G - Em

1. Mama she has taught me well, told me when I was young.

Am G - Em

Son your life`s an open book, don't close it before it's done.

Am G - Em

The brightest flame burns quickest, that`s what I heard her say.

Am G Em ~ ~

The son's heart's owed to mother, but I must find my way.

Am G Em D Am G Em D

Let my heart go. Let your son grow.

Am G Em D Am G F D Em

Mama, let my heart go. Mama, let this heart be still.

- Am - G - Em - Am - G - Em

Yes, still.

Am G - Em

2. Remember my new last name, wild blood in my veins,

Am G - Em

Draping the strings around my neck, the mark that still remains.

Am G - Em

Left home at an early age, of what I heard was wrong.

Am G Em ~ ~

Never asked forgiveness for what is said is done.

Am G Em D Am G Em D

Let my heart go. Let your son grow.

Am G Em D Am G F D Em

Mama, let my heart go. Mama, let this heart be still.

Am D G C

Never I asked of you, but never I gave,

Am D G C

but you gave me your emptiness, that I'll take to my grave.

Am D G C

Never I asked of you, but never I gave

Am D G C

But you gave me your emptiness, that I'll take to my grave

Am G F D Em

So let this heart be still.

Am G - Em

3. Mama now I'm coming home, I'm not all you wished of me.

Am G - Em

A mother's love for her son was spoken heavily.

Am G - Em

Yeah I took your love for granted, and all the things you said to me.

Am G Em ~ ~

I need your arms to welcome me, that cold stone's all I see.

Am G Em D Am G Em D

Let my heart go. Let your son grow.

Am G Em D Am G F D Em

Mama, let my heart go. Mama, let this heart be still.
