(B major) (B major) (B major) (B major)
Verse 1
(B major) I can tell my mama's short on loving me
I guess that's why she let me go so far (B7)
(E major) Mama tried to stop me short of stealing
I (B major) guess that's why I had to steal that car
She told me not to smoke it
But I did and it (B7) took me far a (E major) way
And (F sharp7) I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever raised (B major)

Verse 2
Well, I (B major) rolled into Atlanta,
stolen tags and almost out of gas (B7)
I (E major) had to get some money,
lately I'd learned how to get it fast
Those (B major) neon lights was calling me
and somehow I just had (B7) to get down (E major) town
So I (F sharp7) reached into the glove box,
another liquor store went (B major) down
Chorus 1
And I said (B major) 'Precious memories',
take me back (B7) to the good ol' (E major) days'
Let me (F sharp7) hear my men and sing,
'Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me' (B major)
She tried to turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on (B7) to the devil's (E major) ways
And (F sharp7) I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever raised (B major)
Verse 3
(C major) When they put put them handcuffs on me,
Lord how I fought to resist (C7)
But a (F major) gent clamped clamped 'em tighter,
'til that metal bit into my wrist
They took my (C major) belt and my billfold,
my fingerprints, and the (C7) profile of my face (F major)
And (G7) then they locked away
the only hell my mama ever raised (C major)
Chorus 2
And I'd say (C major) 'Precious memories',
take me back (C7) to the good ol' (F major) days'
Let me (G7) hear my men and sing,
'Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me' (C major)
She tried to turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on (C7) to the devil's (F major) ways
And (G7) I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever raised (C major) (D flat major)
Chorus 3
She tried to (D flat major) turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on (D flat7) to the devil's (G flat major) ways
And (A flat7) I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever raised (D flat major)
I'm The Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)
