 C    F    C                F
Dear Mama,  now that we're older 

C               F            C           F
We can see the load on your tired, old shoulders

 C               F
Mama, you're a trooper

 C               F
Mama, you're a soldier

 C         G            C
Mama, you mean a lot to me
VERSE:
 C                 F
She always got me out of bed 

 C
Early Sunday morn

     G
And took me off to church

                F              C
Where I could learn about the Lord 
VERSE:
 C             F              C
Mama tried to tell me how my life was gong to be

    G                                F              C
But I was young and wild and it was hard for me to see
CHORUS:
 C    F    C                F
Dear Mama,  now that we're older 

C               F            C           F
We can see the load on your tired, old shoulders

 C               F
Mama, you're a trooper

 C               F
Mama, you're a soldier

 C         G            C
Mama, you mean a lot to me

 C                 F                                           C
Mama, you always taught me right from wrong when I was growing up 

                           F                      C                     F
And it's a pity that most people like me have to try everything for themselves. 

C              F                             C                F
I realize now you always knew just what you were talking about 

     C                      F
And mama for all that hard work you did 

 C                                  
And for the sacrifices you made for us. 

G                            C           
I just want to say thanks a lot.
