Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: Mama she has taught me well Told me when I was young "Son, your life's an open book Don't close it 'fore it's done" "The brightest flame burns quickest" Is what I heard her say A son's heart's owned to Mother Am But I must find my way Chorus: Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or, let this heart be still (be still) Verse 2: "Rebel," my new last name Wild blood in my veins Apron strings around my neck The mark that still remains Left home at an early age Of what I heard was wrong I never asked forgiveness But what is said is done Chorus: Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or, let this heart be still Bridge: Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave So let this heart be still Verse 3: Mama, now I'm coming home I'm not all you wished of me But a mother's love for her son Unspoken, help me be I took your love for granted And all the things you said to me, yeah-yeah I need your arms to welcome me But a cold stone's all I see Chorus: Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama, let my heart go Or, let this heart be still Let my heart go Mama, let my heart go You never let my heart go So, let this heart be still Outro: Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave So, let this heart be still
