Misc Musicals – 1776 - Momma Look Sharp (Guitar)

E          G           D       A   E
Momma, hey Momma, come looking for me

E               G             D     A   E
I'm here in the meadow by the red maple tree

E          G           D           A E
Momma, hey Momma, look sharp, here I be

A    D    A           E
Hey, hey, Momma, look sharp

     E             G         D      A  E
Them soldiers they fired, oh Ma did we run

    E              G             D      A E
But then we turned round and the battle begun

E           G         D     A E
Then I went under, oh Ma am I done

A    D    A           E
Hey, hey, Momma, look sharp

   E             G        D       A   E
My eyes are wide open, my face to the sky

   E            G              D          A   E
Is that you I'm hearing in the tall grass nearby?

E           G         D      A  E
Momma, come find me before I do die

A    D    A           E
Hey, hey, Momma, look sharp

     E                   A
I'll close your eyes, my Billy

     E                A
Them eyes that cannot see

         E            A
And I'll bury you, my Billy

   E              A
Beneath the maple tree

    E     G              D       A  E
And never again will you whisper to me

A    D    A              E
Hey, hey, oh Momma, look sharp
