Early Sunday morn

And took me off to church
        FF       C majorC
Where I could learn about the Lord


VERSE:
 C majorC       FF       C majorC
Mama tried to tell me how my life was gong to be
  G+G                FF       C majorC
But I was young and wild and it was hard for me to see


CHORUS:
 C majorC  FF  C majorC        FF
Dear Mama, now that we’re older

JOHNNY CASH (SPOKEN):
 C majorC         FF                      C majorC
Mama, you always taught me right from wrong when I was growing up
              FF           C majorC           FF
And it’s a pity that most people like me have to try everything for themselves.
C majorC       FF               C majorC        FF
I realize now you always knew just what you were talking about
   C majorC           FF
And mama for all that hard work you did
 C majorC
And for the sacrifices you made for us.
G+G              C majorC
I just want to say thanks a lot.
