Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Mama she has taught me well

 Told me when I was young

 Son your life's an open book

 Don't close it before it's done

 The brightest flame burns quickest

 Thats what I heard her say

 The son's heart's owed to mother

 But I must find my way....

 Let my heart go

 Let your son grow

 Mama let my heart go

 Mama let this heart be still.

 Remember my new last name

 Wild blood in my veins

 Draping the 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

 For what is said is done....

*Chorus*

 Let my heart go

 Let your son grow

 Mama let my heart go

 Mama let this heart be still.

*Bridge*

 Never I asked of you

 but never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 that I'll take to my grave

 Never I asked of you

 but never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 that I'll take to my grave

 So let this heart be still.

*Verse 3*

 Mama now I'm coming home

 I'm not all you wished of me

 A mother's love for her son

 was spoken heavily(?)

 yeah I took your love for granted

 and all the things you said to me

 I need your arms to welcome me

 That cold stone's all I see.....

*Chorus*

 Let my heart go

 Let your son grow

 Mama let my heart go

 Mama let this heart be still.

 Let my heart go

 Mama let my heart go

 You never let my heart go

 Mama let this heart be still.

*Bridge*

(solo over

  twice)

 Never I asked of you

 but never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 that I'll take to my grave

 Never I asked of you

 but never I gave

 But you gave me your emptiness

 that I'll take to my grave

 So let this heart be still.
