Gm           C Eb                Bb
the question is wouldn't mama be proud?
there's a silver lining in the corporate cloud and the pretty post that you're taking as as an NCO [Bridge]
C               Eb
of the great pretender

                    Gm
I should sure think so
[Chorus]
         Bb      C  Eb
wouldn't mama be proud?
[Verse 2]
Gm               C     Eb                  Bb
"can I take your order?" asks the heavenly host
ticket to the jetstream blowing coast to coast the long stem glasses, a movie and a pleasant dream in mid air [Bridge]
C                        Eb
"you gotta tell me quickly

                  Gm
'cos we're almost there"
[Chorus]
         Bb       C  Eb
wouldn't mama be proud?
[Break]
Eb                 D
pointed out of the window

Bb              C
at the sky gone black

Eb                       D
"kid you're on the right track"
Gm C Eb Bb (x2) [Verse 3]
Gm            C        Eb                    Bb
if I send you postcards from the side of the road
photographs of moving parts about to implode if I crawl to keep it together like you say you know I can do [Bridge]
C                  Eb
to transmit a moment

           Gm
from me to you
[Chorus]
         Bb       C  Eb  Gm
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud? wouldn't mama be proud? wouldn't mama be proud?
