[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

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
