Mama Cried Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

FMama cried when Frank Sinatra dCied

 She wept for days, when old blue eyes passed aDmway

 was like a death in the faFmily, she only had one DLP

 and she played it constantlGy, and it drove us all inFsane

 when Mama sang aloCng to all them tin pan alley soGngs

 and she'd get the words all wrDmong

 and it didn't really maFtter, it made it sorta saDdder

 it's such a shGame.

FHow Mama cried when Frank Sinatra diCed

 As good a reason as any otGher

 It's as if they had been loDmvers

 A long long time aFgo, but as far as I kDnow

 She never caught a shGow

 But all the sFame, her tears they were rCeal

 and her grief was sinGcere

 and it came from a deep pDmlace

 Beyond reFason, beyond lyDin' with our nGame

FYeah Mama cried like I never sCaw

 "Mama cried befGore," "That's not exactly tDmrue ..

 She cried a lot for yFou and Richard Burton tDoo".

 It was all she could dGo

 To ease the paFin, she smoked cigarettes in bCed

 Drank Kahlua as she reGad, everything the papers sDmaid

 she believed every woFrd, now it seems sort of absDurd

 How Mama crGied when Frank Sinatra diFed

FAnd her tears they were reCal

 and her grief was sinGcere

 and it came from a deep pDmlace

 Beyond reFason, beyond lyDin' with our nGame
