F# minorF#m  C#augC#aug  A augmentedA   BB  B/C#
Mother may I, I would say

Yes sweet baby take it away

Chorus:
   D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE       F# minorF#m
And she'd come to me when fire & water was gone
  D MajorD     A augmentedA    C#C#
To caress the empty with a song
    D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Saying why cry for anger that bullets the sky
  D MajorD        A augmentedA    C#C#

I'll get by...

Verse:
F# minorF#m  C#augC#aug  A augmentedA   BB  B/C#
I know my face seems crazed & wild
F# minorF#m   C#augC#aug  A augmentedA    BB      B/C#
But I got her eyes, A augmentedA mama's child am I
F# minorF#m C#augC#aug  A augmentedA         BB  B/C#
She's blessed with grace & is smooth as a line
F# minorF#m C#augC#aug  A augmentedA    BB  B/C#
And when I shade she helps me shine

Chorus:
   D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE       F# minorF#m
And she comes to me when there's nothing I believe
  D MajorD     A augmentedA    C#C#
And holds me so high yes I am free
    D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Saying why hold the anger, it won't let you fly
  D MajorD        A augmentedA    C#C#
Just remember I'll remember & mama mama
     F# minorF#m
I'll get by...


Confused by my own illusions
She said that it's only my pride
And even the simplest solutions
Still won't heal my mind
So I'll remember
I'll remember and I'll get by
