Intro
G Am D G

Verse 1
G                       C                 G
So many years ago when life was slow and sure
      C                G                Am                 D
We’d spend our Sunday mornings in the pews of Brookfield Church
          G                            C                   G
Where the choir sang like angels hymns we knew verse for verse
         Am            D                   G
Mamma’s voice was the last voice that we heard.


Chorus 1
     D                                   C             G
She sang so clear and I could hear the love in every word
     C              G            Am              D
I’d sit beside her and admire a simple faith so pure
                            C                G
And when the hymn was over every head would turn
         Am            D                  G
Mamma’s voice was the last voice that we heard.

Verse 2
                                 C                   G
Lord knows life wasn’t easy; we had eight mouths to feed
     C              G                Am             D
And in our darkest days I’d see her down on bended knee
            G                      C               G
And though Daddy read us scripture as the lantern burned
         Am            D                   G
Mamma’s voice was the last voice that we heard.


Chorus 2
      D                                  C             G
She sang so clear that I could hear the love in every word
     C            G             Am             D
I’d lay so quiet and admire a simple faith so pure
                                C                 G
And when the song was over I’d sleep so safe and sure
               Am             D                G
Cause Mamma’s voice was the last voice that I heard.


Verse 3
G                              C               G
I left that life behind and struck out on my own
           C             G                Am     D
And I’ve lived so many things my mamma’s never known
           G                            C                G
But each time my footsteps faltered I knew which way to turn
               Am            D                 G
Cause Mamma’s voice was the last voice that I heard


Chorus 3
      D                                   C             G
She spoke so clear that I could hear the love in every word.
     C                    G             Am               D
I’d thank her but she’d say the wisdom didn’t come from her
                                    C           G
But as I taught my children everything I have learned
         Am            D                    G
Mamma’s voice was the last voice that they heard.


Verse 4
                                          C              G
That church is still in Brookfield I stop by when I get home
        C                 G     Am                   D
Put a rose upon her tombstone, tell her what’s goin’ on
      G                           C               G
Last night as sleep embraced me peace came to my world
         Am            D                 G
Mamma’s voice was the last voice that I heard.


Chorus 1
      D                                  C            G
She sang so clear and I could hear the love in every word
     C              G             Am             D
I’d sit beside her and admire a simple faith so pure
                            C                G
And when the hymn was over every head would turn
          Am           D                   G
Mamma’s voice was the last voice that we heard.
