Intro: (Play Intro Riff) x2
Verse 1:
Mama, how do I write the words to you
You were the only one who loved me true
But there's a woman that we don't even know
She gave me life, then you gave me a home
Chorus 1:
I love you, Mama
But I want to tell her too
Em7 G A (Repeat Intro Riff)
Is that her little boy still loves you
Verse 2:
I close my eyes, does she look like me
Does she need my help, is she cold on the street
Or am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream
A B-movie actor on the black and white screen
Chorus 2:
I love you, Mama
But I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
Is that her little boy still loves you
Bridge:
Could I have seen her, I'll never know
Maybe she's always been there watching me grow
I wanted to tell her how grateful I am
For giving me life, I've done the best that I can
Solo:
(Repeat Intro Riff) then
Ohhhh ohhhhh
Ohhhh yeah
Chorus 3:
I love you, Mama
But I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
Her little boy still loves you
Outro: Em7 - G - A - D
