C Em7 Am7

(Intro)

C Em7 Am7

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay

Fmaj9 F/G C

What did he do it for

Em7 Am7

It never made it through our door

Fmaj9 F/G Am

He drank the whole week away

Em Fmaj7

And what can a family say

D Gmaj7

There must be a better way

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Now mama don't start to cry

F/G C

Let's give him another try

Em7 Am7

Pick up the telephone

Fmaj9 F/G C

Tell him you want him home

Em7 Am7

To sit and watch the evenings pass

Fmaj9 F/G Am

And readin' the Leaves of Grass

Em Fmaj7

I'm caught in a closing door

D Gmaj7

It's pinning me to the floor

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Now mama don't start to cry

F/G C

Let's give him another try

Em7 Am7 Fmaj9 F/G C Em7 Am7 Fmaj9 F/G Am

Em Fmaj7

I'm caught in a closing door

D Gmaj7

It's pinning me to the floor

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Now mama don't start to cry

F/G Bb/C

Let's give him another try

F/C

When we're old and gray

C G/C Bb/C

And the things we say are the things we really mean

F/C

So why cause a scene

C

When things ain't what they seem

Em7 Am

'Cause the end result's the same

Em Fmaj7

Now what can a family say

D Gmaj7

There must be a better way

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Now mama don't start to cry

F/G C

Let's give him another try

Em7 Am7 Fmaj9 F/G C Em7 Am7 Fmaj9 F/G C
