Gm           C D#                A#
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               D#
of the great pretender

                    Gm
i should sure think so

[Chorus:]

         A#      C  D#
wouldn't mama be proud?

[Verse 2:]

Gm               C     D#                  A#
"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                        D#
"you gotta tell me quickly

                  Gm
'cos we're almost there"

[Chorus:]

         A#       C  D#
wouldn't mama be proud?

[Break:]

D#                 D
pointed out of the window

A#              C
at the sky gone black

D#                       D
"kid you're on the right track"

Gm C D# A# (2x) [Verse 3:]

Gm            C        D#                    A#
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                  D#
to transmit a moment

           Gm
from me to you

[Chorus:]

         A#       C  D#  Gm
wouldn't mama be proud?

wouldn't mama be proud? wouldn't mama be proud? wouldn't mama be proud?
