In the verses you can do an Eb as a transition - just for the hell of it ;) Enjoy! [Chorus]
                       Eb    Bb
Mama said that it was okay

                       Dm7            Gm
Mama said that it was quite alright

                        Dm7          Gm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night

               F
and it was okay

                       Eb           Bb
Mama said that we were good kids

                          Dm7             Gm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones

                 Dm7                  Gm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun

                    F
'cause we were good kids
[Verse]
                        Gm
Remember asking both my mom and dad

       (Eb)           Bb
Why we never travel to exotic lands

                          Gm
We only ever really visit friends

           (Eb)           Bb
Nothing to tell when the summer ends

                     Gm
We never really went buying clothes

       (Eb)                                 Bb
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads

                Gm
New shoes once a year and then

       (Eb)           Bb
Out to play ball so we could ruin them
[Chorus]
                            Eb    Bb
When mama said that it was okay

                      Dm7           Gm

[Verse]
                              Gm
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad

             (Eb)           Bb
I got enough loving from my mom and dad

                              Gm
But I don't think they really understood

                   (Eb)               Bb
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood

                         Gm
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv

             (Eb)           Bb
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe

                            Gm
The older kids they started bugging me

                    (Eb)              Bb
But now they're all standing right in front of me
[Chorus]

Gm           C

Gm           C
When Im in doubt and struggling

Eb       Bb
thats where I'll go

       Gm                C
An old friend can give advice

          Eb                         Bb
when new friends only know the half story

               Gm                C
That's why I always keep 'em tight

                   Eb
And while you're okay

            D
I said I'm okay
(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?) [Chorus]
