[Chorus]
Em A C D
Mama, why did you do it?
Em A C D
Mama, who drove you to it?
[Verse 1]
Em A C D
Was it the pigs in grey suits, persecuting you?
Em A C D
Uncivil servants, unconcerned at how they frighten you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Em C Am C D
Life is nothing much to lose
G Em C Am C D
It's just so lonely here without you
[Chorus]
Em A C D
Mama, why did you do it?
Em A C D
Mama, who drove you to it?
[Verse 2]
Em A C D
Spare priggish money-men, who scared the life out of you
Em A C D
Bailiffs with bad-breath, I will slit their throats for you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G Em C Am C D
Life is nothing much to lose
G Em C Am C D
It's just so lonely here without you, mama
[Post-Chorus]
G Em C Am C D
Life is nothing much to lose
G Em C Am C D
It's just so lonely here without you, so
G Em
We're gonna run to you, we're gonna come to you
Am C D
We're gonna lie down beside you, mama
G Em
We're gonna be with you, we're gonna join you
Am C D
We're gonna lie down beside you, mama
G Em Am C D
And we will be safe and sheltered in our graves
G Em
We'll come before you, and we will kiss you
Am C D
By way for one final hug, Mama
