Hey mama,
[C] [Fm] [B]
[C#] here's a letter from [F#] your son.
[D#m]
[A#m] [F#] Well, I think my sick day's [C#] done, mama,
And [B] it ain't been [F#] three weeks since [C#] you came.
Hey mama, [Fm]
[C#] I do remember [F#] what you said.
[D#m]
Say your [F#] prayers before you go to [C#] bed, son,
And [B] remember the city [F#] where it ain't the [C#] same.
I'm like [B] a junk-tier tractor [F#] in a half-acre field,
[A#]
Trying to plow the furrow where the [D#]
soil is made of steel.
Oh, [G#] I wish I was [C#] home, mama, where [G#] the blue grasses [C#] bloom
[G#] And the sweet country [C#] girls [A#] don't [G#]
complain.
[A#] [C#]
[F#]
[C#]
[G] [F#]
[G#] [C#]
Mama, [B]
so much [C#] perfume I thought [F#] I'd drown,
[D#]
[D#m] And [F#] the lawn didn't seem to be [C#] nowhere around.
Hey, [B] I fell like [F#] a flower in the [C#] dry.
Oh, she [B] was pretty, Lord, no,
[F#] I thought she would bring [C#] me joy.
[B] She laughed, she [F#]
called me country [C#] boy,
[B] And after [F#] she had been so [C#] kind,
[G#] I'm like [B] a junk-tier tractor [F#] in a half-acre field,
[A#]
Trying to plow the furrow [D] where [D#] the soil is made of steel.
Oh, [G#] I wish I [C#] was home, mama, [G#] where the blue grasses [C#] bloom
[G#] And the fireflies [D#] [F] shimmer and [G#]
shine.
