Blame It On Mama Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

All in D

DWhen I was 6 or 7

 Mama tucked me Ain

 With a lDullaby and it

 Made my eyes open wide Aagain

 I would lGie awake and wonder

 Why a bDoy named Billy JGoe

 Jumped oDff the Tallahatchee Bridge

 To the rAiver far below

Chorus

GBlame it on mama

 And the soDngs she loved to sing

 I'm nGot from Louisiana but tDhat don't mean a thing

 Don't comGe from Alabama oDr a hill from Tennessee

 Just blamCe it on mama, she sang (she sang)

 The countryD into me

DI just loved to listen

 As she'd sing those story sonAgs

 'Bout a cDoat of many colors

 Or a girl named Delta DAawn

 When the Glights went out in Georgia

 I would bDeg for just one mGore

DAll about Fancy and the pretty red satin

ADancing dress she wore

(Chorus)

GI'm a coal miner's daDughter

GLovin my preacher's sDon

 I have waGlked the streets of LarDedo

 Stared down the bAarrel of a law man's gun

GI've grown roots and I'vDe got claims

GTo places I've never bDeen

GAnd when I sing those soDngs it takes me

ARight back home again

D

(Chorus)

 The Dcountry into me, yeah
