_ _ _ First thing I remember knowing Was the [A] lonesome whistle blowing
[E] And a young'uns dream of growing [B] up to ride [E] On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing [A] where I'm bound [E] And no one could change my [B] mind but mama tried
One and only rebel child From a family [A] meek and mild
[E] My mama seemed to know what [B] lay in store [E] Despite all my [A] Sunday learning
[E] Towards the bed I [A] kept on turning [E] Till mama couldn't hold me anymore
And I turned 21 in prison, [A] new life [E] without parole
[C#m] No one could steer me right but [B] mama tried Mama tried, [E] mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better [A] But her pleading [E] I denied
And it's only me to blame cause mama tried

Dear old daddy rest his [A] soul Let my mama [A] have your load
[E] She tried so very hard to [B] fill his shoes [E] Working hours [A] without rest
[E] Wanted me to [A] have the best [E] She tried to [B] raise me right but [E] I refused
And I turned 21 in prison, [A] new life [E] without parole
[C#m] No one could steer me right but [B] mama tried Mama tried, [E] mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better [A] But her pleading [E] I denied
And it's only [B] me to blame cause mama [E] _ tried _
