Hello Mama Chords by Squire Parsons

[G] _ You know [D] there can be no greater [C] treasure [D] than to have [G] a praying mother
I had a friend whose mother always prayed for him, [C] but I must confess [G] to you.
I thought his condition was hopeless
[C] But late one night this dear mother answered the [D] telephone and a [C] voice on the other end [G] said
Hello, Mama.
[D] _ [C] I [D] just called [G] to tell you
[D] _ [C] _ [D] all those [G] tears you've shed for me
[Am] _ [D] they were [G] not in [C]
vain
[G] _ Mama, [C] _ _ [G] _
something happened
_ [C] Tonight [D] while traveling [G] down the country road
[C] I [D] thought that you should [G] be the first to know
[Am] that [D] I'm [G] not the same
[C] _ [G] _ _ [C] Now [G] all those dreary days
[Dm] they're [G] over now
[C] Those sleepless [D] nights [G] are past
[C] [D] All [G] those prayers [Bm] that you [G] have prayed so [A] long
they're answered [G] now at [D] last
For [G] I'm not the boy I [Dm] [G] used to be
[C] Mama, you can sleep tonight
For I [D]
[G] found Jesus
_ [Am] Now [D] _
[C] everything's alright
_ [Eb] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab]
I remember _ _ [Db] how every [Eb] night before [Ab] you'd go to sleep
_ [Eb] _ [Db] I'd hear [Eb] you ask the Lord [Ab] my soul to keep
[Bbm] that I [Eb] might [Ab] find the way [Db] to [Ab] you
_ [Db] _
[Ab] I'm just a thing for
[Db] all that [Eb] through my [Ab] loneliness
and all those [Eb] wasted [Db] years
Mama, [Ab] those prayers kept ringing in my [Bbm] ears
[Eb] every [Ab] night and _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] day
[Db] But all [Ab] those dreary days
[Ebm] they're [Ab] over now
[Db] Those sleepless [Eb] nights [Ab] are past
[Db]
[Eb] All [Ab] those prayers that you [Fm] have prayed [Ab] so [Bb] long
they're answered [Eb] now at last
[Ab] For I'm not the [Ebm] boy I [Ab] used to [Db] be
Mama, you can sleep tonight
For [Eb] I [Ab] found _ Jesus
[Bbm] Now [Eb] _
[Db] everything's alright
_ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] _ _ Boy [Ebm] that I [Ab] used to be
[Db] Mama, you can sleep tonight
[Eb] For I found [Ab] _ Jesus
_ [Bbm] Now [Eb]
everything's [Db] alright
_ _ [Bbm] Oh yes, [Eb] it's _ [Ab] alright _ _ _ _ _
