Mama Tried аккорды

			D          G             D                G
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
      D          G             A7
And a young-on's dream of growing up to ride
     D            G         D                 G
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound
       D          A7             D
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried

One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
'Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

CBoRUS:
D                     G              D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
   G         D                  A7
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
     D                        G             D
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied,
              A7                 D
that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried

Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused
