Intro: Dm, G, F (power chord) 



Verse: 

Dm 
Mama, don't you cry 
G               F  
Don't you worry 
Dm                     G       F 
I cannot stay here any longer 
Dm                       G                  F 
The time has come to find a distant calling 
Dm                          G        F 
That only seems to get much stronger 



Pre Chorus: 

F (open chord), A, G, Bb, F, C 

F                    A 
And I know it's hard 
(A)                         G 
To see the one you come to lean on make his way 
       Bb 
Far beyond the womb 
      F       C 
But, I can't stay 


  Dm 
I won't stop running 
                  G 
I'm only getting closer 
                                Dm   G 
To getting off the ground this ti......me 
    Dm                                 G 
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders 
                              Dm  G                 
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y 
                   Dm 
Mama, I'm bent to fly 



Repeat Verse progression x 2 



Verse: 

Remember yesterday 
Before the storm 
Before the innocence was lost 
I promised I would stay forevermore 
But every boy, in time, moves on 



Pre Chorus: 

Your wounds will heal someday 
This I know, but I am restless and so torn 
Mama, I can't stay here anymore 




  Dm 
I won't stop running 
                  G 
I'm only getting closer 
                                Dm   G 
To getting off the ground this ti......me 
    Dm                                 G 
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders 
                              Dm    G                 
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y 
                   A 
Mama, I'm bent to fly 



Bridge: (Strum an A chord with occasional G bass note embellishments. Sounds pretty good.) 

A                    G 
I can feel it coming 
A                       G 
A perfect storm is rising 
A                       A G F E Dm 
Gotta say my last goodbye... 



Solo: (Verse progression) 



Dm 
Mama, don't you cry 
G               F  
Don't you worry 
Dm                     G        
I cannot stay here any longer... 




  Dm 
I won't stop running 
                  G 
I'm only getting closer 
                                Dm   G 
To getting off the ground this ti......me 
    Dm                                 G 
The sky is calling, the wind is at my shoulders 
                              Dm    G                 
Won't let this chance pass me b.....y 
                   Dm 
Mama, I'm bent to fly 




The rest of the song is the Verse progression except the end which is the Bridge ending on a Dm chord. 
I hope this helped and please let me know of any improvements I could make to this.
