^GShe was just sixteen and all alone ^Am When I came to be So w^De grew up together, ^C My mama child and m^Ge

Now things were bad and she was scared

But whenev^Cer I would cry She'd calm^D my fears and dry my tears With a roc^Ck and roll lullaby ^G

And she'd sing... Chorus:

^GSha na na na na na na na na na it'll^Am be alright ^CSha na na na na na na^D na na na now just hold on tight ^G (Sing it to me mama) S^Gha na na na na na na na na na it'll ^Ambe alright Sing it sw^Ceet and clear, oh Mama let ^Dme hear that old R^Cock and roll lullaby^G

Solo: G Am C D C G

^GWe made it through the lonely days ^Am But Lord the nights were long And we'd drea^Dm of better moments ^CWhen mama sang a song ^G ^GNow I can't recall the words at all It d^Con't make sense to try Cause ^DI just knew lots of love came through In that ro^Cck and roll lullaby ^G

And she'd sing...

S^Gha na na na na na na na na na it'll ^Ambe alright S^Cha na na na na na na ^Dna na na now just hold on^G tight
