Standard (EADGBE)

Everything I ever learned

 That gets me through the worst

 I learned at my Mama's knee

 Now, anytime I'm turned around

 I turn to Mama first

 And you'd be wise

 To memorize

 What Mama says to me

Now, Mama ain't been wrong yet. And I'm living proof

 Mama says

 Don't use a toaster while standing in the shower

 Now who an argue with that?

 Mama says

 Don't hold your breath for longer than an hour

 The woman knows where it's at!

 And Mama says

 it doesn't matter

 If you're a king

or you're a clown

Once you drive up a

 mountain

 You can't back down

 Mama says

 Don't drink hot coffee lying down in bed

 Don't even give it a thought

 Mama says

 Never eat anything bigger than your head

 Is she a whiz or what?

 And Mama says

 it doesn't matter

 If you're a king

or you're a clown

Once you drive up a

 mountain

 You can't back down

Mama makes a lot of sense

 If you know how to listen

 She is clear and concise

Daddy says, "I love her, son,

 But she's got marbles missin'"

 But I say, "Hey! It's free advice

 And what d'you expect at that price?"

 Mama says

 What you believe in is all you really own

 And I believe that she's right

 Mama says

 If you've got doubts, well, then, boy, you're not alone

 Just means you're ready to fight

 And Mama says

 it doesn't matter

 If you're a king

 or you're a clown

Once Bdim6you drive up a mountain

 You can't back down

 You can turn up the heat

 You can turn up the road

 You can carry a beat

 You can carry a load

 You can

 throw a fit

 You can

 throw a punch

 You can bring up a child

 You can bring up your lunch!

 Mama says

 it doesn't matter

 If you drive a hard bargain or drive around town

Once Bdim6you drive up a mountain

 You can't back down

Once you drive up a mountain

 You can't back down!
