*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
