Mama Said chords by Benedict Cork

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Gm              F                    C
Mama said the tears might stick around
Gm                   F                   C
Write it down in a song to drown them out
                 Gm
But on days like this I’m thinking of him
            F                            C
And all the lovin’ that I miss, now he’s gone
                 Gm
And I know these words can't stop the bleeding
               F                             C
Can't feel the things that lovers feel on my own

Pre-Chorus:
Gm                   F       C
Mama said, mama said, mama said
Gm                   F       C
Mama said, mama said, mama said


Chorus:
        Gm                    F
Let the tears dry on their own
         C                   Gm F C
Let them burn my heart no more, ooh


Verse 2:
Gm              Gm                   C
Mama said the tears might stick around
Gm                     F             C
Piece by piece I’m breaking all my vows
                 Gm
But on days like this I’m thinking of him
            F                            C
And all the loving that I miss, now he's gone
        Gm
Every emotion that I’ve been through
             F                           C
Can't do the things that lovers do on my own


Pre-Chorus:
Gm                   F       C
Mama said, mama said, mama said
Gm                   F       C
Mama said, mama said, mama said


Chorus:
        Gm                    F

Let them burn my heart no more, ooh
