As recorded by Bob Seger (From the 1975 Album BEAUTIFUL LOSER) [Intro] F F D/F# [Verse 1]
G              D/F#
I was the baby brother

Em              G
I was the quiet other

C              Am
And I remember mother

   G
So well

G                D/F#
I was the little stranger

Em             G
I never was in danger

C                Am
I could 'a had a manger

     G
Pray tell
[Chorus]
G                     Am
Oh, how she could control me

Bm                     C
When I was bad she'd scold me

G                      Am
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me

        D Em F#m D  Am7
And I'd cryyyy

    Am              G#7       C/G
But momma she never told me a lie

Am              G#7       G   F F D/F#
Momma she never told me a lie
[Verse 2]
G                  D/F#
I used to stay out evenings

Em                     G
Stay out too late some evenings

    C                    Am
And momma would be there seething

     G
Back home

G                  D/F#
Momma, she sat and waited

Em                  G
Sat in the hall and waited

C                  Am
Now I know why she hated

     G
That phone
[Chorus]
    G                      Am
And when I'd come in she'd grab me

Bm                     C
Right by the arm she'd grab me

G                           Am
Lord, when she was finished with me

    D Em F#m D      Am7
I'd cry,            ooh, I'd cry

    Am              G#7       C/G
But momma she never told me a lie

Am              G#7       G
Momma she never told me a lie
