[D] [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] Lifelessness cries from the fount of youth [G] Lawyers [D] debate the [A] meaning of [D] truth
In the judge's chambers he dances gin and [G] vermouth And he cries when he [A] sees his [D] reflection
Lost postman wanders American [G] streets Fast Henry [A] the A2 quietly [D] eats
Being entertained by a drunk quoting [G] Keats Who pays a dollar a [A] week for protection
[E] Oh mama, [A] mama, where have you [E] gone?
You left your little [A] boy here all [D] alone
Music [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] plays in the small [G] cafes He converse with Marlon [A] Brando in his younger [D] days
The backroom manager's quoting off Broadway [G] plays Cause the feelings that he [A] feels are not real
[D] Politicians shake my hand under the [G] air They don't have to [A] show me I can easily [D] tell
That it isn't their smiles they're trying to sell But the [G] bad hand of [A] another deal
[Em] Oh mama, [A] mama, where have you [Em] gone?
You left your little [A] boy here all [D] alone
By [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] the pool sits a broken athlete [G] Who drowns his [A] pain from his head to his [D] feet
Since he's retired he can't swallow [G] defeat Cause his life is no [A] longer a game
[D] The old man sits alone with his toast and [G] tea Watching Jackie [A] Gleason on his old [D] TV
He's working for the transit authority And [G] just like Jackie he [A] feels the same
[Em] Oh mama, [A] mama, where have you [Em] gone?
You left your little [A] boy here [D] all alone
Well [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] it gets mighty cold after [G] dark I was walking [A] up Battery [D] Park
Out to the south I saw a [G] spark Coming from a [A] lady's candle
[D] She stood with grace and liberty [G] Up by [A]
the [D] sea, leaning down
She whispered to me, [G] this is probably more than [A] you can handle
[Em] Oh mama, [A] where have you [Em] gone?
You left your little [A] boy [D] [G] here all [A] alone
[D] Take me back home, mama, [G] mama [A]
[D] So long, [G] [A]
[D] mama, mama
[G] [A] [D] [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
