Dear [F] Mama,
[C] now that [F] we're older,
[C] we can [F] see the load [C] on your tired [F] old [C] shoulders.
Mama, [F] you're a trooper, [C] Mama, [F] you're a soldier, [C] Mama, [G] you mean a [C] lot to me.
She always [F] got me out of [C] bed early Sunday morning, [G] and took me off to church where [F] I could learn [C] about the Lord.
Mama [F] tried to tell me [C] how life was gonna be, [G] but I was young and wild and [F] it was hard for [C] me to see.

[C] I realize [F] now that you always knew [C] just what you were talking [F] about.
[C] And Mama, for all [F] that hard work you [C] did, and for the sacrifices you made [G] for us, I just want to say [C] thanks a lot.
