David Allan Coe
David Allan Coe

N/A
Verse 1
D

I've just been to heaven
G
D

with someone so true
Bm
A

I dreamed about
D

Mama last night
Bm
D

She read me the
G
D

Bible like she used to do
Bm
A
D
Bm
A

I dreamed about momma last night
D

Why she never closed her eyes to sleep
G
D
Bm

Until we were all in bed
A

And on party nights till we come home
D
Bm
A

Why she often sat up and read
D

Of course, we little thought about it then
G
D
Bm

When we were young and gay
A

Just how much

Mama worried
D
Bm

When we children were away
D

Why we only knew she never slept
G
D
A

When we were out late at night

And that she waited just to know
D
Bm

That we'd come home all right
D

Why, sometimes,

you know, when we'd stay away
G
D

Until one or two or three
A

It just seemed to us that
D

Mama heard the turning
Bm

of the key
D

For always when we stepped inside
G

She'd call us and we'd reply
D
A

But, of course, we were much too young back
D
Bm
D

then to understand the reason why.

And it seemed until the last one had returned,
G
D

she always kept a light.
A

Cause mama couldn't sleep until
D
Bm
A

she kissed us all goodnight
D

Why she had to know that we were safe
G
D
Bm

before she went to rest
A

And she seemed to fear that the world
D
Bm
A

might harm the ones she loved the best.
D

And once she said,
G
D

when you're grown to women and to men,
Bm
A

Why, perhaps I'll sleep the

whole night through
D
Bm

Things might be different then
D

And so it seems that night and day
G
D

We had a mother's care
A

And we knew whenever we got home that
D
Bm

we'd find mama waiting there.
D
G

And then came the night that we were
D
Bm

all called to gather around her bed.
A

Your children are all with you now,
D
Bm
D

the kindly doctor said.

And in her eyes there gleamed
G
D

again that old familiar light.
A

And as each one of us held her in our arms,
D
Bm
D

she kissed us all goodnight.

I'm gonna have to leave you soon,

she said
G
D

Now don't you weep
A

And once she knew that

we were saved
D

Mama went to sleep
Bm
A
D
G

I still see her smilin' wherever I
D
A
D

go I dreamed about momma last night
Bm
D
G
D

I know she is happy cause she told me so
Bm
A
D

I dreamed about mama last night
Bm
A
D
G

She read me the bible like she used to
D
A
G

do I dreamed about mama last night
D

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
