Momma Tried аккорды

			B                 B             B                B
The first thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin',
      B         B             C7
And a youngun's dream of growin' up to ride,
     B            B         B                 B
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound.
    B             C7             B
And no one could change my mind but Momma Tried.
B         B            B               B
One and only Rebel child from a fam'ly meek and mild
   B         B                C7
My momma seemed to to know what lay in store,
       B             B           B             B
'Spite all my Sunday learnin' towards the bad I kept on turnin',
     B              C7         B
'Til momma couldn't hold me anymore.

Chorus

N.C.         B                 B                B
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole,
   Gm                        C7
No one could steer me right but Mamma Tried, Momma Tried
      B                       B            B
Momma Tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
                C7                   B
And that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma Tried

Verse 3:
B                B            B           B
Dear ole' daddy, rest his soul left my mom a heavy load,
    B             B                C7
She tried so very hard to feel his shoes,
        B             B            B              B
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
    B                 B             C7
She tried to raise me right but I refused.
