Intro: BB E MajorE F#F# E MajorE BB E MajorE F#F# BB E MajorE F#F# BB

              E MajorE
I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
      F#F#       BB
I told her mama I'm getting married
                          E MajorE
I could hear her voice on the other side of the telephone she was smiling
       F#F#               BB
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
                E MajorE
She said son did you take time to know her
     F#F#      BB
I said mama she's the best

But today it hurts me so
    E MajorE
To go back to mama and say mama
  F#F#
I'm getting divorced
      BB
Oh I'm getting divorced
F#F#     E MajorE   F#F#          E MajorE           F#F#  BB
This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would (x2) it hurts me so mama
BB
mama said to me

              E MajorE
It's not easy to understand it son
         F#F#
But I hope you'll make it
          BB
You'll be happy again

I remember in church
E MajorE
When the preacher read the scriptures
F#F#             BB
You looked so beautiful and innocent
                E MajorE
I did not know that behind that beauty
          F#F#                BB
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future
F#F#      E MajorE   F#F#     E MajorE      F#F#       E MajorE    BB
This choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would be (x2) Now I'm hurting

Solo: BB E MajorE F#F# BB

BB
I remember when I held you
      E MajorE
By the hand preacherman read the scriptures
F#F#            BB
Putting words in you mouth
                  E MajorE
Maybe what the preacherman said was not something that was with you
F#F#                BB
Now I know what they mean when they say
                 E MajorE
Beautiful woman is another man's plaything
  F#F#        BB
Oh Lord I'm hurting now
F#F#    E MajorE    F#F#    E MajorE       F#F#        E MajorE
this choice I made didn't work out the way I thought it would
BB
Mama said to me
