*Note: These may not be the actual chord names but they're pretty close. The Em7/11 and

F#m7/11 chords can be played with or without the note in (). I think they sound better

with them but I believe Edwin plays without.

Intro

(Play Intro Riff) x2

Verse 1

Mama, how do I write the words to you

 You were the only one who loved me true

 But there's a woman that we don't even know

 She gave me life, then you gave me a home

Chorus 1

 I love you, Mama

 But I want to tell her too

 Is that her little boy still loves you

Verse 2

 I close my eyes, does she look like me

 Does she need my help, is she cold on the street

 Or am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream

 A B-movie actor on the black and white screen

Chorus 2

 I love you, Mama

 But I want to tell her too

 Is that her little boy still loves you

  º

Is that her little boy still loves you

Bridge

/11 /11

Could I have seen her, I'll never know

/11 /11

Maybe she's always been there watching me grow

/11 /11

I wanted to tell her how grateful I am

 For giving me life, I've done the best that I can

Solo

Ohhhh ohhhhh

Ohhhh yeah

Chorus 3

 I love you, Mama

 But I want to tell her too

 Is that her little boy still loves you
