Standard (EADGBE)

  Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time

  For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar

  Now I do believe, the life I lead, won't get me very far

  I was once told, the streets were paved in gold

  Now I know them for what they are

  Hey, hey mama life, has a sweeter sound

  For a man, who lives his life, for his dream

  Yet he must be aware, there are those who care

  And of those who would bring him down

  Separate trust, from your cut and thrust, the truth can still be found

  For the crossroads of your life, will lead you almost anywhere

  You'll see tomorrow

  Your castles in the air, they were never really there

  Take the pride from a man, you're left without a meaning

  Take the wings from a bird, how can it fly

  Give him hope, give him trust, and a little understanding

  Give him back his pride, you'll be satisfied

  [Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...] x3

  Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time

  Now I do believe, the life I lead, it won't get me very far

  I was once told, the streets they were paved in gold

  Now I know them for what they are

  [Aaaaaaaaaahhhh...] Repeat and fade
