Mama Said

[Chorus]

                       Eb    Bb
Mama said that it was okay
                       Dm7         
Mama said that it was quite alright
   Gm

                        Dm7        
Our kinda people had a bed for the 
  Gm
night
               F
and it was okay

                       Eb          
Mama said that we were good kids
 Bb

                          Dm7    
and daddy told us never listen to 
         Gm
the ones
                 Dm7             
pointing nasty fingers and making 
     Gm
fun
                    F
'cause we were good kids


[Verse]

                        Gm
Remember asking both my mom and dad
       (Eb)           Bb
Why we never travel to exotic lands
                          Gm
We only ever really visit friends
           (Eb)           Bb
Nothing to tell when the summer ends

                     Gm
We never really went buying clothes
       (Eb)                     
'cause folks were passing on the 
            Bb
stuff in plenty loads
                Gm
New shoes once a year and then
       (Eb)           Bb
Out to play ball so we could go in 
them


[Chorus]

                            Eb    Bb
When mama said that it was okay
                      Dm7          
Mama said that it was quite alright
 Gm

                       Dm7         
Our kinda people had a bed for the 
    Gm
night

[Verse]

                              Gm
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it
 bad
             (Eb)           Bb
I got enough loving from my mom and 
dad
But I don't think they really 
Gm
understood
                   (Eb)            
When I said that I wanted to deal 
   Bb
in Hollywood

                         Gm
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv
             (Eb)           Bb
The other kids were callin' me a 
wannabe
                            Gm
The older kids they started bugging 
me
                    (Eb)           
But now they're all standing right 
   Bb
in front of me


[Chorus]

                            Eb    Bb
When mama said that it was okay
                      Dm7

[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                       
when new friends only know the half
  Bb
 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
