Verse 1

 C                     G
mama sometimes i feel inside
Am                    F
there's nothing i can say
 C            G
nothing i can do
          Am                  F
could ever match the love you gave
 C                   G
you taught me how to live
        Am              F
told me walk before you run
        C                    G
and you were always there to pick me up
Am                   F
everytime i'd have a fall

Chorus

    C                   G
and mama i know there's been times
     Am                   F
when i didn't always understand
C                    G
by and by we do some growing up
      Am                        F
and it makes just a little more sense
    C                      G
but sometimes it's hard to find the words
   Am                       F
but i'll do the best that i can...

C                      G

Verse 2: C,G,Am,F

i know the road's been long
and i know you've seen some rain
making the best of what we had
i never heard you conplain
when i look in the mirror today
wondering could i be as strong
could i give as much to someone else
as you gave to your son

2:41
chorus: C,G,Am,F

and mama i know there's been times
when we didn't see eye to eye

but i'll do the best that i can...

thank you for the love mama
it's what made this boy a man, yea
