TITLE: Mama Who Bore Me, from Spring Awakening
MUSIC: Duncan Sheik
LYRICS: Steven Sater
ORIGINAL ARTIST: Lea Michele
TRANSCRIPTION: Andrew Marsden
Reduced to ukulele-playable chords, from my original guitar/piano chord sheet.
Chord onset is at the beginning of the chord-as-written.
Rhythm is a little difficult, lyric-wise - chords syncopated across syllables; but two
chords per bar, generally.
The right-hand column, below, shows alternatives to the full chords on the left:
