Mamas Song

G                              F 
Mama used to send us early to bed
                C
 on Christmas Eve
G                              F 
She became Santa's helper and 
                C
they took care of me
G                              F 
We would wake up early from our 
                C
beds only to see
F                                 
The love she had for all of us was
                    G
 left beneath the tree

[Chorus]
            F             G
One day I know we'll be together
           C
When the Lord brings me to you
            F              G
Then I know, I will be in Heaven
           C
When my eyes can rest on you
            F            G
But until then I will remember
           Am        G         F
All the good times that we've shared
I'll hang a star upon this tree for 
 G
you
Continues after the ad
         F           G            
On Christmas Day I know you'll be 
      C
there too

[Verse]
G                              
Now that I am all grown up with 
F                 C
children of my own
G                                 
I see the happiness in their eyes,
  F                 C
 somehow I wish I'd known
G                                
But not a Christmas Day goes by, 
F                 C
that I will not see
F                                 
The gift you gave to all of us was
                       G
 the love you gave to me

[Chorus]
            F             G
One day I know we'll be together
           C
When the Lord brings me to you
            F             G
Then I know I will be in Heaven
            C
When my eyes can rest on you
            F             G
But until then I will remember
          Am       G         F
All the good times that we shared
I'll hang a star upon this tree for 
 G
you
             F             G      
Mama, on Christmas Day I know 
             C
you'll be there too


            F             G       
One day I know we'll be together
   C

            F             G       
Then I know I will be in Heaven
  C  F  C

            F             G
I won't have to remember
          Am       G         F
'Cause I'm standing there with you
                              G
Of a time that you and I always knew
                 F             G  
Mama, on Christmas Day I'll 
            C
finally be with you
