Chords
Tabbed by: Simon Hwang (this is my first chart!)
STRUMMING NOTE: strum pattern the "x" is indicating a thumb stroke on the bass note of the chord (e.g. for D,
the thumb would strike the open D string on the macro-beat). The "down" strums are a forceful extension of the
fingernails. This is termed the "pluck-and-chuck" method which is explained well by Jon Michael Swift (s/o to
my first Youtube teacher).

[Intro]
Dm Dm Dm Dm Uh...Comeon...Feel me...Yes...
[Verse 1]
Dm Shame on us, all your sons and your daughters Dm Thieve all your gold and we poison all your waters Dm Every piece of our soul is for sale now they bought us Dm Think we know it all then look at where it got us
[Chorus]
F Oh, mama, mama G Oh, mama, mama Dm Dm You're crying to the wind uh huh...
[Verse 2]
Dm Trying to play God, even fucking with genetics Dm All that you have given and we only disrespected Dm The rate that we’re going premature Armageddon Dm That's what's gonna happen if we let it
[Chorus]
F Oh, mama, mama G Oh, mama, mama Dm Dm You're crying to the wind mm..
[Bridge]
F Is there any savin' us G We've become so dangerous F Is there any changin' us G Even for the sake of love F How you gonna kill your mama G Dm Dm When only mama is gonna love you to the grave
[Verse]
Dm Killing our selves, falling down with the sickness Dm Money is the king, it's a dirty bloody business Dm There will be no trial, but the child will always witness Dm If we're in love with hell, why the hell would heaven visit
[Chorus]
F Oh, mama, mama G Oh, mama, mama Dm Dm You're crying to the wind
[Verse]
Dm When mama gets the belt you gon' wish you didn't do it Dm Had your chance for redemption, but you fucking blew it Dm Now the weather's changin' and the hurricane is moving Dm Right in your direction, what direction are you choosing
[Chorus]
F Oh, mama, mama G Oh, mama, mama Dm Dm Forgive us for your pain
[Bridge]
F Is there any savin' us G We've become so dangerous F Is there any changin' us G Even for the sake of love F How you gonna kill your mama G Dm Dm When only mama is gonna love you to the grave ...uh uhhhh
[Outro]
Dm Dm to the grave ...uh uhhhh Dm Dm How you gonna kill your mama uh uhhh Dm Dm How you gonna kill your mama uh uhhh
