    [INTRO] D
    [VERSE]
    D G
    The first thing I remember knowing
    D G
    Was a lonesome whistle blowing
    D A
    And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
    D G
    On a freight train leaving town
    D G
    Not knowing where I'm bound
    D A D
    And no one could change my mind but Mama tried

    D G
    One and only rebel child
    D G
    From a family meek and mild
    D A
    My mama seemed to know what lay in store
    D G
    Despite all my Sunday learning
    D G
    Towards the bad I kept on turning
    D A D
    Till Mama couldn't hold me anymore

    [CHORUS]
    D G D
    And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
    Bm A7
    No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
    D G D
    Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
    D A D
    That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried

    [INSTRUMENTAL] D G D A D

    [VERSE]
    D G
    Dear old Daddy, rest his soul
    D G
    Left my mom a heavy load
    D A
    She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
    D G
    Working hours without rest
    D G
    Wanted me to have the best
    D A D
    She tried to raise me right but I refused

    [CHORUS]
    D G D
    And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
    Bm A7
    No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
    D G D
    Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied
    D A D
    That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
