Mama Said chords by Lukas Graham

Chords with lyrics

Here we go...

            Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
Mama said that it was okay
            Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
Mama said that it was quite alright
            Dm7Dm7     G minorGm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
        FF
and it was okay


            Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
Mama said that we were good kids
             Dm7Dm7       G minorGm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
         Dm7Dm7         G minorGm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
          FF
'cause we were good kids

            G minorGm
Remember asking both my mom and dad
            Bb majorBb
Why we never travel to exotic lands
             G minorGm
We only ever really visit friends
              Bb majorBb
Nothing to tell when the summer ends


           G minorGm
We never really went buying clothes
    Eb MajorEb                 Bb majorBb
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
        G minorGm
New shoes once a year and then
               Bb majorBb
Out to play ball so we could go in them


              Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
When mama said that it was okay
           Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
Mama said that it was quite alright
            Dm7Dm7       G minorGm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
      FF
and it was okay

           Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
Mama told us we were good kids
             Dm7Dm7       G minorGm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
        Dm7Dm7          G minorGm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
            FF
'cause we were good kids


               G minorGm
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad
       (Eb MajorEb)      Bb majorBb
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
               G minorGm
But I don't think they really understood
          (Eb MajorEb)        Bb majorBb
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood


             G minorGm
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv
       (Eb MajorEb)      Bb majorBb
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe
              G minorGm
The older kids they started bugging me
          (Eb MajorEb)       Bb majorBb
But now they're all standing right in front of me


              Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
When mama said that it was okay
           Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
Mama said that it was quite alright
            Dm7Dm7       G minorGm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
      FF
and it was okay

             Dm7Dm7       G minorGm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
        Dm7Dm7          G minorGm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
            FF
'cause we were good kids


G minorGm      DmDm
I know which place im from
Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb
I know my home
G minorGm      C majorC
When Im in doubt and struggling
Eb MajorEb    Bb majorBb
thats where I'll go

    G minorGm        C majorC
An old friend can give advice
     Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
when new friends only know the half story
        G minorGm        A minorAm
That's why I always keep 'em tight
          Eb MajorEb
And while you're okay
      FF
I said I'm okay

(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)


              Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
When mama said that it was okay
           Dm7Dm7      G minorGm
Mama said that it was quite alright

             Dm7Dm7       G minorGm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
        Dm7Dm7          G minorGm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
            FF
