D G First thing I remember knowin' was
D G a lonesome whistle blowin'
D G And a young-on's dream of growing
A7 up to ride
Continues after the ad
D G On a freight train leaving town,
D G not knowing where I'm bound
D A7 And no one could change my mind,
D but Mama tried One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild Mama seemed to know what lay in store 'Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin' 'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore CHORUS:
D And I turned twenty-one in prison
G D doing life without parole
G D No one could steer me right, but
A7 Mama tried, Mama tried
D Mama tried to raise me better, but
G D her pleading I denied,
A7 that leaves only me to blame,
D 'cause Mama tried

Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load She tried so very hard to fill his shoes Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best She tried to raise me right, but I refused CHORUS The end of the song is the same as the intro and lick 1.
