Mama Said

Tom:

[Chorus]
                       Eb    Bb
Mama said that it was okay
                       Dm7            Gm
Mama said that it was quite alright
                        Dm7          Gm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
               F
and it was okay

[Próxima Parte]
                       Eb           Bb
Mama said that we were good kids
                          Dm7             Gm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
                 Dm7                  Gm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                    F
'cause we were good kids

[Verse]
                        Gm
Remember asking both my mom and dad
Bb
(Eb)
Why we never travel to exotic lands
                          Gm
We only ever really visit friends
Bb
(Eb)
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
                     Gm
We never really went buying clothes
Bb
(Eb)
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
                Gm
New shoes once a year and then
Bb
(Eb)
Out to play ball so we could go in them

[Chorus]
                            Eb    Bb
When mama said that it was okay

[Próxima Parte]
                     Eb      Bb
Mama told us we were good kids

[Verse]
                              Gm
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad
Bb
(Eb)
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
                              Gm
But I don't think they really understood
Bb
(Eb)
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood
                         Gm
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv
Bb
(Eb)
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe
                            Gm
The older kids they started bugging me
Bb
(Eb)
But now they're all standing right in front of me

[Chorus]
                            Eb    Bb
When mama said that it was okay

[Próxima Parte]
                       F
'cause we were good kids

[Bridge]
Gm           Dm
I know which place im from
Eb        Bb
I know my home
Gm           C
When Im in doubt and struggling
Eb       Bb
thats where I'll go
       Gm                C
An old friend can give advice
          Eb                         Bb
when new friends only know the half story
               Gm                Am
That's why I always keep 'em tight
                   Eb
And while you're okay
            F
I said I'm okay
(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)

[Chorus]
                            Eb    Bb
When mama said that it was okay

[Próxima Parte]
                       F
'cause we were good kids
