[VERSE]

    C majorC
It was kinda hard believing
    FF
Mama Stewart couldn't see me then
  C majorC               G+G
Or even that her age was ninety-four
       C majorC
'Cause the years that took her sight away
   FF
Had given her the right to say
   D7D7                  G+G
What she believed, and she did, praise the Lord

     C majorC
And the things she said reminded me
   FF
Of things I'd grown too blind to see
   C majorC                FF
And feelings that I'd hidden deep inside
                        C majorC
And when she said goodbye and kissed me I was thankful
               G+G        C majorC
She couldn't see the sudden tears I couldn't hide


[CHORUS]

FF              C majorC
Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes
G+G               C majorC
Another shining reason to believe
FF               C majorC
Everything is new and full of wonder and surprise
  G+G                C majorC
Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees

[VERSE]

   C majorC
She rode the covered wagons west
   FF
When she was only seven
     C majorC            G+G
But she came to California on a plane
       C majorC
She said at ninety-four she thought for sure
    FF
She'd got too close to heaven
   D7D7              G+G
And like as not was going all the way

     C majorC
But the miracle of medicine
   FF
And good old time religion
  C majorC                  FF
Removed the veil of darkness from her eyes
                        C majorC
They say she praised the Lord and thanked the doctor
         G+G        C majorC
And didn't even seem at all surprised


[CHORUS]

FF              C majorC
Everything is beautiful in Mama Stewart's eyes
G+G               C majorC
Another shining reason to believe
  FF               C majorC
And everything is new and full of wonder and surprise
  G+G                C majorC
Inside the world that Mama Stewart sees
    G+G              C majorC
