Mama Said chords

[Am]Mama, she has taught me well
[Em]Told me when I was [E]young
[Am]Son, your life's an open book
[Em]Don't close it before it's [E]done
[Am]The brightest flame burns quickest,
[Em]That's what I heard her [E]say,
[Am]A son's heart's owed to mother
[Em]But I must find my [E]way

®:
[Am]Let [Em] my [G] heart [D] go
[Am]Let [Em]your [G]son [D]grow
Mama [Am]let[Em]my [G]heart [D]go
Or[Am] let [Em]this[Am] heart [Em]be [E] still

Rebel mind your last name
Wild blood in my veins
They bring string around my neck
They mark that still remains
Left home at and early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what it said is done

®:

®1: [Am]Never I asked[D] you
But[G] never I [C]gave
But you[Am] gave me your[D] emptiness
That I'll[G] take to my[C] grave
[Am]Never I[D] ask of you
But[G] never I [C]gave
But you[Am] gave me your[D] emptiness
I now [G]take to my [C]grave
So[Am] let[G] this[Em] heart[Am] be [E] still

Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Spoken help me be…
I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see
