CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: D MajorD Am7Am7 G+G (2x) D MajorD

      Am7Am7 G+G       D MajorD
Mama, sweet mama, where are you going
       Am7Am7       G+G  D MajorD
With all your babies and that casserole?
         Am7Am7   G+G      D MajorD
I'm going to the jailhouse in Camilla, Georgia
     Am7Am7    G+G       D MajorD  Am7Am7 G+G  D MajorD
To see a woman and ask for her parole

      Am7Am7 G+G      D MajorD
Mama, sweet mama, why are you beaten
       Am7Am7  G+G        D MajorD
Why are your babies scattered on the ground?
      Am7Am7    G+G      D MajorD
The sheriff slapped me and then he struck me down
      Am7Am7      G+G     D MajorD  A minorAm
He kept on kicking, 'til I blacked out


CHORUS:
     G+G      D MajorD          A minorAm
This old Georgia town knocked me from my feet
    G+G       D MajorD        A minorAm
I see a blue-eyed devil looking down at me


INTERLUDE: D MajorD Am7Am7 G+G (2x) D MajorD


      Am7Am7 G+G      D MajorD
Mama, sweet mama, why did you do it
      Am7Am7      G+G    D MajorD
Why did you not move back into the crowd?
       Am7Am7   G+G          D MajorD
Ella Mae was watching from the jailhouse window
     Am7Am7   G+G   D MajorD   A minorAm
I had to show her I was proud


CHORUS:
     G+G      D MajorD          A minorAm
This old Georgia town knocked me from my feet
    G+G       D MajorD        A minorAm  D MajorD
I see a blue-eyed devil looking down at me


CHORUS:
     G+G      D MajorD          A minorAm
This old Georgia town knocked me from my feet
    G+G       D MajorD        A minorAm
I see a blue-eyed devil looking down at me


      Am7Am7 G+G        D MajorD
Mama, sweet mama, what's happened to you
       Am7Am7  G+G      D MajorD
Your pregnant body, standing so tough?
     Am7Am7 G+G   D MajorD
My unborn baby is no longer
     Am7Am7    G+G   D MajorD
Now I'm a lawyer, is that enough?
  G+G    D MajorD   Am7Am7 G+G
Is that enough?
     D MajorD   Am7Am7 G+G  D MajorD
