Verse 1
(A minor) Looking back through the years
(F major) I see mama's (A minor) eyes
And sadness that came over them
when (F major) she looked in (A minor) mine
She'd hold me in her (C major) arms,
in (D major) her old rockin' (A minor) chair
She'd rock and hum Amaz (C major) ing Grace,
(D major) fightin' (D minor) back the (A minor) tears
Growin' up,
I could hear the (F major) whispers of the (A minor) town
How Daddy was of bad blood,
(F major) how I looked like (A minor) him
I didn't show the hurt, (C major)
but I (D major) could feel the (A minor) shame
Till mama took me in her arm (C major) s
and (D major) rocked away (F major) the (A minor) pain
I guess mama knew
she was (C major) rockin' rollin' stone
Somehow (A minor) she saw it in my eyes,
(E major) someday I'd go wrong
She cursed (A minor) my daddy's (C major) name
and (D major) just kept rockin' on (F major)
Cause (A minor) mama always knew
she was (E major) rockin' a rollin' (A minor) stone
The day I turned seventeen
they (F major) laid her to (A minor) rest
I left that cold Georgia town
repay (F major) ing some old (A minor) debts
Twenty -one and (C major) reckless,
(D major) I'd been everywhere
(A minor) I'd left a trail of pain and (C major) tears,
(D major) I ran (D minor) hard and (A minor) scared
Inside these cold prison walls,
(F major) I see Mama's (A minor) eyes
And sadness that came over them
when (F major) she looked in (A minor) mine
Lord, if I owned the whole (C major) world,
I'd (D major) give it all away (A minor)
To be doing life in (C major) her arms,
(D major) I'm an amaz (F major) ing grace (A minor)
I guess mama knew
she was (C major) rockin' and rollin' stone
Somehow (A minor) she saw it in my eyes,
(E major) someday I'd go wrong
She cursed (A minor) my daddy's (C major) name,
I (D major) just kept rockin' (F major) on
Cause (A minor) mama always knew,
she was (E major) rockin' rollin' (A minor) stone
She cursed my daddy's (C major) name,
I (D major) just kept rockin' (F major) on
Cause (A minor) mama always knew,
she was (E major) rockin' and rollin' (A minor) stone
