^F My Mamas Mama, ^C She drank like a fish ^D She'd toast to dyin' young,^Bb She'd get her wish ^F Mama could not deal, ^C So she had a son ^D Hoping he would heal,^Bb The damage done ^F The good natured child,^C Was what she called the boy ^D His whole point in life,^Bb Was to bring her joy ^F Till one day his tears, ^C Took her by surprise ^D She knelt down to dry them off,^Bb Saw her Mamas eyes

^F I've got a dar^Ckness, ^D Help me ^Bbsee in the light ^F I've got a dar^Ckness, ^D Help me ^Bbsee in the light ^F The pain you e^Cven felt, ^D Shall pass to so^Bbmeone else ^F I've got a dar^Ckness ^D ^Bb

^F My Mamas Mama,^C She had a Mama too ^D She came to this country,^Bb In her womb ^F They tell a story,^C The big boat ^D They were tired and hungry, ^Bb But full of hope ^F 'An they'd seen the darkside,^C The great war ^D They'd escaped with their lives,^Bb But not much more ^F An' for their unborn baby, ^C They'd pray to God ^D For us it's too late,^Bb But for her it's not

^F I go back in my mind,^C To my boyhood home ^D The good natured child,^Bb When he was alone ^F A tree there, ^C To which I used to pray ^D That God is dead to me now,^Bb But the prayer remains ^F Let me feel what I feel,^C Let me feel it now ^D Be it good or evil,^Bb Let it all come out ^F So my tired Mama,^C She may rest in peace ^D And my unborn children,^Bb May be born free
