Intro: BB E MajorE F#F# BB E MajorE F#F#
BB F#F# C# minorC#m
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
E MajorE F#F# BB
With courage of just 18 years
BB F#F# C# minorC#m
A augmentedA penny and quarter were taped to a letter
E MajorE F#F# BB F#F# E MajorE
And Mama's good-bye in her ears
BB F#F# C# minorC#m
She watched as her high school faded behind her
E MajorE F#F# BB
And the house with the white picket fence
BB F#F# C# minorC#m
Then she read the note that her Mama had wrote
E MajorE F#F#
Wrapped up with twenty-six cents
Chorus:
BB F#F# AbmAbm F#F# AbmAbm
When you get lonely call me anytime at all
BB F#F# AbmAbm F#F# AbmAbm
I'll be there with you always anywhere at all
EbmEbm
There's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
E MajorE C# minorC#m
And money is never enough
E MajorE F#F#
Here's a penny for your thoughts a quarter for the call
E MajorE F#F# BB
And all-a your Mama's love
BB F#F# C# minorC#m
A augmentedA penny and quarter buys a whole lot of nothin
E MajorE F#F# BB
Taped to an old wrinkled note
BB F#F# C# minorC#m
And when she didn't have much, she had all Mama's love
E MajorE F#F#
Inside that old envelope
Chorus
AbmAbm F#F# E MajorE
Oh, it's been years since Mama's been gone
AbmAbm F#F# E MajorE F#F# AbmAbm F#F#
But when she holds a coin she feels her love----just as strong
Chorus
C# minorC#m E MajorE
Here's a penny for your thoughts a quarter for the call
F#F# BB
And all-a your Mama's love
