(D major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (D major) First thing
I remember know
(G major) in' was a (D major) lonesome whistle blow (G major) in'
And a (D major) young one's dream
of (C major) growin' up to ride (A major)
On a (D major) freight train leavin' (G major) town,
not (D major) knowin' where I'm (G major) bound
No one (D major) could steer me right,
(A major) but Mama tried
(D major) One and only rebel child
(G major) from a (D major) family meek and (G major) mild
My mama (D major) seemed to know (C major)
what lay in (A major) store
And despite (D major) all my Sunday learn (G major) ing
toward the bat
(D major) I kept on (G major) turning
till mama (D major) couldn't hold (A major) me anymore (D major)
And I turned 21 in prison

(D major) No (B minor) one could steer me right
but (G major) mama tried
(A major) Mama tried,
Mama tried (D major) to raise me better,
but her plead (G major) ings I deny, (D major)
that leaves only me to blame,
cause (A major) Mama tried.
