A Song For Mama

	  		

   Intro: B-F#-E (4x) 

  B 
   You taught me everything 
              F#               E 
   And everything you've given me 

   I'll always keep it inside 
  B                    F#           E 
   You're the driving force in my life, yeah 
  B 
   There isn't anything 
       F#               E 
   Or anyone that I can be 

   And it just wouldn't feel right 
  B                F#           E 
   If I didn't have you by my side 

            C#m 
   You were there for me 
             B 
   To love and care for me 
         F# 
   When skies were grey 
            C#m 
   Whenever I was down 
               B             F# 
   You were always there to comfort me 
               C#m 
   And no one else can be 
             B 
   What you have been to me 
          F# 
   You'll always be 
               B 
   You will always be the girl 
           A
   In my life for all times 

  

     B                    F# 
   Mama, Mama you know I love you 
   Eb7 
   Oh you know I love you 
  G#m    F#             F#m7,B7        E 
   Mama, Mama you're the queen of my heart 
        Eb7                          G#m 
   Your love is like tears from the stars 
    F#          F#m7,B7     E 
   Mama I just want you to know 
    F#                            B 
   Lovin' you is like food to my soul 


   Interlude: B-F#-E-; (2x) 

   B 
   You're always there for me 
           F# 
   Have always been around for me 
    E 
   Even when I was bad 
     B            F#              E 
   You showed me right from my wrong 

   (Yes you did) 
   B 
   And you took up for me 
     F# 
   When everyone was downin' me 
    E 
   You always did understand 
   B             F#            E 
   You gave me strength to go on 

            C#m 
   There was so many times 
            B               F# 
   Looking back when I was so afraid 
                C#m            B 
   And then you come to me and say 
       F#               
   I can face anything 
              C#m 
   And no one else can do 
                 B 
   What you have done for me 
        F# 
   You'll always be 
             B 
   You will always be 
                    A 
   The girl in my life

    F#m              B            E 
    Never gonna go a day without you 
    Eb7                              C#m 
    Fill's me up just thinking about you 
          F#                         B 
    I'll never go a day without my mama
