[Intro] Bb F C7 F [Verse 1]
    F                         Bb            F
Oh, I was born a good boy, my mama loved me so

        Bb            F                   G7             C7
And she gave me every chance she could to make my life a gold

      F                                    Bb                 F
But I fell in with the wrong crowd and the wrong crowd led me on

    Bb                F                     C7     F
But I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong

  C7                       Bb                 F
I went to the places where sin just waits for you

      C7                                Bb             C7
And I fell in with the wrong crowd like sinners always do

    F                         Bb              F
Now here I sit in prison just waiting for the day

Bb                   F                     G7            C7
When they'll lead me through that door and burn my life away
[Chorus]
    F                           Bb              F
Oh, mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own

    Bb                F                     C7     F
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
[Interlude] Bb F C7 F [Chorus]
    F                           Bb              F
Oh, mama please forgive me, the shame is all my own

    Bb                F                     C7     F
For I could have gone right just as easy as I went wrong
