INTRO, riff-1:

1st VERSE, riff-1:

Mama, she has taught me well

Told me when I was young

Son, your life's an open book

 Don't close it 'fore it's done

 The brightest flame burns quickest

 Is what I heard her say

 A son's heart sewed to mother

 But I must find my way

CHORUS, riff-2:

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

 Mama, let my heart go

 Or let this heart be still

2nd VERSE, riff-1:

Rebel my new last name

Wild blood in my veins

Apron strings around my neck

 The mark that still remains

Left home at an early age

 Of what I heard was wrong

 I never asked forgiveness

 But what is said is done

CHORUS, riff-2 (last line ends on Asus4 instead of Asus2):

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

 Mama, let my heart go

 Or let this heart be still

BRIDGE, riff-3:

Never I ask of you

 But never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

 But never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 I now take to my grave

 So let this heart be still

3rd VERSE, riff-1:

Mama, now I'm coming home

 I'm not all you wished of me

 A mother's love for her son

Spoken, help me be

 Well, I took your love for granted

 And all the things you said to me

 I need your arms to welcome me

 But, a cold stone's all I see

CHORUS, riff-1 (last line ends on Asus4 instead of Asus2):

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

 Mama, let my heart go

 Or let this heart be still

CHORUS, riff-1:

Let my heart go

 Mama, let my heart go

 You never let my heart go

 So let this heart be still

ENDING, riff-3 (last line fades out on Am):

Never I ask of you

 But never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

 But never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 I now take to my grave

 So let this heart be still
