Cotton Patch Gospel - I Did It Mama Is Here

	  		


Intro:  A 

verse 1: 

A 
All through the ages, the wise men and sages 
                                      Bm 
Have said there are dirty deeds that simply must be done 

To keep society going and the benefits flowing 
                               C#m 
There's a simple necessity of hurting someone 

It makes strength and agility, taking responsibility 
                                    D 
It's the core of what leadership's really about 
                                         A 
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing 
    E                                     A 
If you've got a problem you must flush it out 


Bridge: 

             E                D 
But there's no one else with guts enough 
       E                     A 
To be willing to kick their butts enough 
        E               B7 
I'm the only one quite nuts enough 
      E                A 
To admit it, they all hid it 
          E                   D 
But I'm standing right here proud 
     E                 A 
His head held high, unbowed 
       E                 B7 
I'll shout it right out loud 
    E         D          A 
He did it, I did it, he did it 


verse 2: 

A                                Bm 
Rock-a-bye, sweet baby, Mama is here 
                                             C#m 
Hush-a-bye, sweet angel, there's nothing to fear 
                                                D 
Close you eyes, sweet darling, all through the night 
           A              E               A 
Mama will hold you safe 'til the morning light 


verse 3:  Repeat verse 1 and verse 2 lyrics simultaneously, then: 

          D                              A 
When the red blood starts coming, just think of it as plumbing 
         Mama              will         hold you safe 

    E                                     A 
If you've got a problem you must flush it out 
  'Til    the         morning            light
