         C   Em   D          G
She was sixteen, never knew more
         C         Em            
Than the backporch swing and the

counter at the dime store

    What do you know
C  Em  D  G
[instrumental]

          C   Em       D    
She had dreams, dreams of many 
     G
things
  C            Em       D    
A life on the road and all that 
     G
brings

G    D/F#           Em        C    D
   D   D [stop.]
  Mama, won't you please let me go

Wave goodbye at the end of spring
Drop down a graduation gown and a 
high school ring
Echo on the gym floor
[instrumental]

A life made from cards and sticks
The kind of broke that money can't 
fix
Ohhhh, this road'll take me 
somewhere
And I'll know it when I get there
[instrumental]

Ohhhh, what does this life have in 
store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go

[guitar solo]

Day to day, and town to town
Mama writes, "I can never track her 
down"
She's gonna find what she's looking 
for
[instrumental]

Thirty-one when she finally makes it
 home
With the wisdom of the world, a 
woman fully grown
Oh I never needed more
Than this counter at the dime store
Than this counter at the dime store
[instrumental]

Ohhhh, what does this life have in 
store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, let me go...

TAB:

[Both of these are probably a little
 off, mostly because they're played 
on
 an electric guitar and I only have 
an acoustic.  I know the notes are 
right,
 but I might be playing them on the 
wrong strings, as usual.]
