By the way, this is the version from youtube (rehearsal),
it works with the iTunes/spotify version,
but works best with the youtube version.
Chords without capo/piano chords:
C = D#
G = A#
D = F
Am = Cm
E7 = G7
Enjoy! :-)
Mama said that it wasC okay
GMama said that it was quDite alright G
Our kinda people had a bDed for the Gnight
and it was okayAm
Mama said that we were Cgood kids
Gand daddy told us never lisDten to the oneGs
pointing nasty fiDngers and making fuGn
'cause we were good Amkids
Remember asking both my Cmom and dad
Why we never travel to eGxotic lands
We only ever really visit Cfriends
Nothing to tell when the suGmmer ends
We never really went Cbuying clothes
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in Gplenty loads
New shoes once aC year and then
Out to play ball so we could Ggo in them
When mama said that it was oCkay
GMama said that it was qDuite alrightG
Our kinda people had a Dbed for the niGght
and it was Amokay
Mama told us we were Cgood kids
Gand daddy told us never liDsten to the oneGs
pointing nasty Dfingers and making fGun
'cause we were good kAmids
Don't get me wrong, I didn't hCave it bad
I got enough loving from myG mom and dad
But I don't think they really Cunderstood
When I said that I wanted to deal inG Hollywood
I told 'em I'd be singingC on tv
The other kids were callin' mGe a wannabe
The older kids they started Cbugging me
But now they're all standing right in Gfront of me
When mama said that it was oCkay
GMama said that it was qDuite alrightG
Our kinda people had a Dbed for the niGght
and it was Amokay
Mama told us we were gCood kids
Gand daddy told us never liDsten to the oneGs
pointing nasty Dfingers and making fuGn
'cause we were good kidAms
CI know whichG place im from
CI know myG home
CWhen Im in dGoubt and struggling
Cthats where GI'll go
An old Cfriend can give aGdvice
when new fCriends only know the half Gstory
That's why I alCways keep 'em tigGht
And while you're okAmay
I said I'm oE7kay
You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?
When mama said that it was oCkay
GMama said that it was qDuite alrightG
Our kinda people had a Dbed for the niGght
and it was Amokay
Mama told us we were Cgood kids
Gand daddy told us never liDsten to the oneGs
pointing nasty Dfingers and making fGun
'cause we were good kidAms
