Intro 1
(D major) (G major)
Verse 1
A canvas (G major) covered cabin
in a (C major) crowded labour (G major) camp
Stand out in this memory I (D major) revived;
Cause my (G major) daddy raised a family there,
with (C major) two hard working (G major) hands
And tried to feed my
(D major) mama's hungry (G major) eyes.
He dreamed of something better,
and my (C major) mama's faith was strong (G major)
And us kids were just to young to real (D major) ize
That an (G major) other class of people put us
(C major) somewhere just (G major) below;
One more reason for my
(D major) mama's hungry (G major) eyes.
Mama never had the (C major) luxuries she (G major) wanted
But it wasn't cause my
(C major) daddy didn't try. (G major)
She only wanted things (C major)
she really (G major) needed;
One more reason for my (D major) mama's
hungry (G major) eyes. (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
I remember daddy praying for
a (C major) better way of life (G major)
But I don't recall a change of any (D major) size;
Just a (G major) little loss of courage,
as their (C major) age began to show (G major)
And more sadness in my (D major) mama's
hungry (G major) eyes.
Mama never had the (C major) luxuries she (G major) wanted
But it wasn't cause my
(C major) daddy didn't try. (G major)
She only wanted things (C major)
she really (G major) needed;
One more reason for my
(D major) mama's hungry (G major) eyes.
Oh, I still recall (D major) my mama's hungry (G major) eyes.
