INTRO: [E]
#1.
[E] [A]
The first thing I remember knowin' was a
[E] [A] [E]
lonesome whistle blowin' and a young'un's
[B]
dream of growing up to ride.
[E] [A] [E]
On a freight train leavin' town not knowin'
[A] [E]
where I'm bound and no one could change my
[B] [E]
mind but Mama tried.
#2.
[E] [A] [E]
One and only rebel child from a family meek
[A] [E]
and mild, my Mama seemed to know what lay
[B]
in store.
[E] [A]
In spite of all my Sunday learnin', towards
[E] [A] [E]
the bad I kept a-turnin', til Mama couldn't
[B] [E]
hold me anymore.
[CHORUS]
[E] [A]
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life
[E]
without parole.
[Dbm] [B]
No one could steer me right but Mama tried,
Mama tried.
[E] [A]
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading
[E]
I denied.
[B] [E]
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried.
#3.
[E] [A] [E]
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul, left my Mom a
[A]
heavy load.
[E] [B]
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes.
[E] [A] [E]
Working hours without rest, wanted me to have
[A]
the best.
[E] [B] [E]
She tried to raise me right, but I refused.
[CHORUS]
[E] [A]
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life
[E]
without parole.
[Dbm] [B]
No one could steer me right but Mama tried,
Mama tried.
[E] [A]
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading
[E]
I denied.
[B] [E]
That leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried.
