verse 1 
              Am   F          G    Em 
She works the night, by the water 
             Am             F 
She's gonna stress, so far away 
                    G        Em 
From her father's daughter 
                Am  F         G     Em 
She just wants a life for her baby 
           Am                F 
All on her own, no one will come 
             G               Em 
She's got to save him (daily struggle)

Em                        Am 
I'm gonna give you all of my love 
F                   G      Em 
Nobody matters like you" 
               Am        F                           G 
She tells him "your life ain't gonna be nothing like my life 
Em                           Am 
You're gonna grow and have a good life 
F                      G      Em 
I'm gonna do what I've got to do"

Am              F 
Single mama you doing out there 
G                     Em 
Facing the hard life, without no fear 
Am                    F 
Just so you know that you really care 
      G                 Em 
Cause any obstacle come you’re well prepared 
Am               F 
And no mama, you never shed tear

Cause you have to set things year and to year 
    Am                      F 
And you give the youth love beyond compare 
G                       Em

Am             F 
Mmm Marie, the paps' disappear 
G                       Em 
In the round back can’t find him nowhere

Am                       F 
Now she gotta a six year old 
          G  
Trying to keep him warm 
Em                     Am 
Trying to keep out the cold 
        F 
When he looks in her eyes 
G                  Em 
He don't know he's safe

Em                        Am 
I'm gonna give you all of my love 
F                   G      Em
