Chords for Mama's Waiting

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ As _ _ I drive towards [Db] home, my picture [Ab] mama waiting
_ She'll _ _ be glad to see her big time [Eb] boy come home
She _ _ [Ab] gets little in return for [Db] all she's given
And _ _ [Ab] I'm all she's [Eb] got to love since _
[Db] daddy's gone
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now I'm forty [Db] miles away and [Ab] I'm still wondering _
_ _ _ Why I ever told her I was [Eb] doing well _
[Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] When I first went wrong I should have [Db] turned to mama _
But _ [Ab] it's hard to get [Eb] back up once you [Db] have failed _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] It's the last time I'll [Eb] see flowers [Ab] in the morning _ _ _ _
[Db] It's the last time I'll [Eb] hear robins [Ab] in the spring _ _ _ _
[Db] It's the last time I'll [Eb] feel mama's [Ab] arms around me, [Fm] oh lord _
[Db] It's the last chance here [Eb] on earth I'll [Db] have to say
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ As I drive away [Db] behind me [Ab] mama's waving _
_ _ _ To a son who's all she'd ever hoped [Eb] he'd be _
_ _ _ [Ab] Now she'll say her final prayers, [Db] go meet daddy _
And _ [Ab] I'm glad she's [Eb] only seeing one [Db] side of me
[Ab] Today _ _ _ _ _ makes fifteen years [Db] in Stoney Mountain [Ab] Prison
_ And _ _ _ _ tonight I'll walk my last few [Eb] steps alone
_ But _ _
[Ab] I can't help thinking somewhere _
[Db] mama's waiting _ _ _
[Ab] Once again to see her [Eb] big time boy [Db] come _ home
[Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] It's the last time I'll [Eb] see flowers in [Ab] the morning _
_ _ _ [Db] It's the last time I'll [Eb] hear robins in [Ab] the spring _ _
_ _ It's [Db] the last time I'll [Eb] feel mama's arms [Ab] _ around me, [Fm] oh lord
It's [Db] the last chance here [Eb] on earth I'll have [Db] to _ _ _ _ [Bb] say
It's [Db] the last chance here on [Eb] earth I'll have [Db] to say _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
