[D] [F] Rick's inspiration has always been [G] his mother [F] Betty.
I guess the kids were [E] so smart at that time, six kids.

[G] I didn't [D] understand what my mama was going through.
I didn't [E] understand when no man she [G] felt all [D] alone.
A family big as mine in that [C#] time was no house or [D] home.
She took it to the streets on her feet and [B] she fed us well.
And now I'm here to [E] say that today [G] we're all doing [D] swell.
Mama's coming.
[G]
[A] [D] You'll see the greatest love of all.
Mama's coming.
Yeah.
[A]
[D]
My mama lived alone on the day that [E] she finally died.
The eight of us were there as the tears fell [G] down from her [D] eyes.
I danced her in her [E] body and finally [G] won the war.
[D] She didn't want to go but in [G] heaven there's so much [D] more.
So every day you [E] live try and give your [G] mama all your [A] love.
You'll never know the [E] day when she'll be called [B] by God above.
And if [G#m] you want the truth you [G#m] will find that [D] there's no disguise.
Because all you got to [A] do is look deep in your mother's [Gm] eyes.
Oh [C] [Am] mother [Gm] dear, I miss [D] your warm and tender [Gm] [Dm] smile.
It's [C] so hard living [Am]
here [D] without you.
Mama's coming.
[A]
[G] [C]
[D] Mama's coming.

[G]
[D]
Mama's [Dm] coming.
[A] You'll see the greatest love [F] of all [Dm] in the world.
[D] That's when your [C] mama'll call.
[Dm] Mama's coming.
[G] [Dm]
[D] [G]
[Am] Mama's [F] coming.
You'll [D] see the greatest love [Dm] of all.

You'll [D] see the greatest love of [Dm] all.
See the greatest love of all.
[E] [D]

It's when your mama'll call.

[A] It's when your [B] mama'll call.
