Mama Im Alright

(início)

Intro: D A E A (4x)
     D        A            E    A
The sun just got through going down
       D      A      E     A
on a sleepy little Texas town
 D    A      E         A       D
population plus one, minus one
         D      A        E       A
A new grandma rocks my sister's kid
            D     A     E       A
just like twenty years ago she did
     D          A        E
the same thing in that same chair
 A        D                     E
she said this one's born to run
D A E A (2x)
Everyday at noon like a chapel bell
find her,Jesus,keep her well
help her do more right than wrong,
at the end of the day
I've got five good years and a tank of gas,
fifty watts and Johnny Cash
a guitar and a broken heart just full of things to say
     Bm                A                    D
You taught me how to stand those tests and trials
         Bm                  A            D E
but you can't see a desert sunrise in the bible
(Chorus):
      D       A         E   A
She loves me more than anything
         D          A          E
and she wants the world for me
     D            A     E    A
Her west dropped off in El Paso,
          D              E
and her north in Abilene
 D    A    E       A
Mama I'm Okay out here
      D        A         E       A
I've seen how hard the world can be
    D       A          E      F#m
My step is sure and I know my name
      D          A         E        A
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
      D          A         E        A
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
E D A E D A
          D        A        E       A
If I had done what you and daddy'd done
    D               A         E    A
I would have never lost and never won
     D      A       E        A          D
or gotten myself kicked when I was down
    D         A           E      A
I would not know how to travel well
     D     A          E     A
A hundred bucks and cheap motels
    D         A           E        A
I would not know how to fight for my own
  D                    E
heart next time around
 Bm              A            D
Don't you cry another night about me
         Bm             A          D    E
In this city I've got angels all around me
(Chorus):
She loves me more than anything
And she wants the world for me
Her west dropped of in El Paso
And her north in Abilene
Hey Mama I'm okay out here
I've seen how hard the world can be
My step is sure and I know my name
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
           D     A         E       F#m
I felt it every time you prayed for me
       D         A         E        A
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
