Verse 1
(D major) I've just been to heaven
with (G major) someone so (D major) true
I (B minor) (A major) dreamed about
Mama last (D major) night
(B minor) She (D major) read me the
Bible like (G major) she used to (D major) do
(B minor) I (A major) dreamed about momma last (D major) night (B minor) (A major)
(D major) Why she never closed her eyes to sleep
(G major) Until we were all in bed (D major) (B minor)
(A major) And on party nights till we come home
(D major) Why she often sat up and read (B minor) (A major)
(D major) Of course, we little thought about it then
When (G major) we were young and gay (D major) (B minor)
(A major) Just how much
Mama worried
When (D major) we children were away (B minor)
(D major) Why we only knew she never slept
When (G major) we were out late at night (D major) (A major)
And that she waited just to know
That (D major) we'd come home all right (B minor)
(D major) Why, sometimes,
you know, when we'd stay away
Until (G major) one or two or three (D major)
(A major) It just seemed to us that
Mama heard the (D major) turning
of the key (B minor)
For always (D major) when we stepped inside
She'd call us and we'd (G major) reply
(D major) But, of course, we (A major) were much too young back
then to under (D major) stand the reason why. (B minor) (D major)
And it seemed until the last one had returned,
she (G major) always kept a light. (D major)
(A major) Cause mama couldn't sleep until
(D major) she kissed us all goodnight (B minor) (A major)
(D major) Why she had to know that we were safe
before (G major) she went to rest (D major) (B minor)
(A major) And she seemed to fear that the world
might harm (D major) the ones she loved the best. (B minor) (A major)
(D major) And once she said,
when you're grown to (G major) women and to men, (D major)
(B minor) Why, (A major) perhaps I'll sleep the
whole night through
Thing (D major) s might be different then (B minor)
(D major) And so it seems that night and day
We (G major) had a mother's care (D major)
And (A major) we knew whenever we got home that
we'd find (D major) mama waiting there. (B minor)
(D major) And then came the night that we (G major) were
all called to gather around her (D major) bed. (B minor)
(A major) Your children are all with you now,
(D major) the kindly doctor said. (B minor) (D major)
And in her eyes there gleamed
again that (G major) old familiar light. (D major)
And (A major) as each one of us held her in our arms,
she (D major) kissed us all goodnight. (B minor) (D major)
I'm gonna have to leave you soon,
she said
Now (G major) don't you weep (D major)
(A major) And once she knew that
we were saved
Mama (D major) went to sleep
(B minor) I (A major) (D major) still see her smilin' wherever (G major) I
go (D major) I (A major) dreamed about momma last (D major) night
(B minor) I (D major) know she is happy cause (G major) she told me (D major) so
I (B minor) (A major) dreamed about mama last (D major) night
(B minor) She (A major) (D major) read me the bible like (G major) she used to
(D major) do I (A major) dreamed about mama last night (G major)
(D major)
