Middle Child chords by Daniel Romano

Chords with lyrics

Capo 2nd

D MajorD G+G
G MajorG
I was left alone, A augmentedA long, long time ago
C majorC                D MajorD
By my mother who I never got to know
   C majorC
Faded memories of my life
     G+G         C majorC
Have been washed in whiskey nights
    D MajorD              G+G    C majorC G+G
And I?m living at the bottom of the bottle

G+G
I?ve spent my life on a bar stool all alone
   C majorC                D MajorD
Never knowing why she sent me from my home
     C majorC
Was there something wrong with me?
  G+G         C majorC
That no one else could see
     D MajorD             G+G   C majorC G+G
What?s the reason only I got turned away

[Chorus]
   D MajorD
Mama please tell me why
     C majorC         G+G
You would leave just me behind
                       D MajorD
You sent me off and then you went and had my brother
    C majorC
Before me, a little girl
       G+G         C majorC
And they?re the centre of your world
  G+G         D MajorD         G+G
Mama tell me why?d you leave the middle child?

C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G

G+G
I should?ve gone back home and ask her to her face
C majorC                 D MajorD
But my life?s become too much of a disgrace
   C majorC            G+G      C majorC
And I got the news today saying mama passed away
D MajorD                 G+G
So I?ll never know the reason I?m alone


[Chorus]
   D MajorD
Mama please tell me why
     C majorC         G+G
You would leave just me behind
                       D MajorD
You sent me off and then you went and had my brother
    C majorC
Before me, a little girl
       G+G         C majorC
And they?re the centre of your world
  G+G         D MajorD         G+G   C majorC
Mama tell me why?d you leave the middle child?
      G+G     D MajorD         C majorC   G+G D MajorD G+G
