[B] [C#m]
[B]
I can't sell my mama's short [G#m] on lovin' [G#] me [D#m] I guess that's why she let me go so [B] far
[E] Mama tried to stop me short of stealin' [B] I guess that's why I had to steal that car
She told me not to smoke it, but I did And it took me [E] far away
And [F#] I turned out to be the only hell my mama [B] ever raised
But I rolled into Atlanta, stolen, taken, almost out of gas
[E] I had to get some money, lately I learned how to get it fast
[B] The old neon light was callin' me and somehow I just had to [E] get downtown
So [F#] I reached into the glove box, another liquor [B] store went down
And I said, precious memories, take me back to the [E] good old days
[F#] Let me hear my mama singin', a rock of ages [B] cleant for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the [E] devil's ways
[F#] And I turned out to be the only hell my mama [B] ever raised
Well,
[C]
they put them handcuffs on me, Lord, how I fought to resist
But [F] they just clapped them tighter, till that metal bit into my wrists
They took [C] my belt and my billfold, my fingerprints and the profile [F] of my face
Then [G] they locked away, the only hell my mama [C] ever raised
And I said, precious memories, take me back to the good [F] old days
[G] Let me hear my mama singin', a rock of ages clean [C] for me
She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the [F] devil's ways
[G] And I turned out to be the only hell my mama [C] ever [Fm] raised
[C#] Turned me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the [F#] devil's ways
[G#] And I turned out to be the only hell my mama ever [C#] raised
