Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro riff

 Mama I'm hurting, in the worst way

 I got no money in my pocket, no place to stay

 And when I see you out in the streets

Never know what to say

 Oh but it doesn't matter mama

 If you always look the other way

 Mama I'm searching, every night and day

I'm looking for the means to pay

 For all the wrongs that I've done

 For the nights I left you alone to wait

 Oh but I’m always gonna owe you

 If you always look the other way

Solo

I've been a fool, I know

I'm trying to find a way to show you

That you're the only one

The only one I'll ever want

 So I'm learning, learning to be a better man

I'm not certain but I think I can now

 Won't put it far for sure just know

 I've done all I can do to change

 But you’re never gonna notice if you always look the other way

 Mama you’re never gonna notice...

If you always look the other way
