Misc Originals – Bonnie Easley - Mamas Song (Guitar)

E
She needed something new

        A                  E
So she wore her borrowed blues

       B                               E        B
and slipped out Sunday mornin' after church

       E
Mama never could stay long

         A                    E
And we missed her when she'd gone

        B                                  E
But I always knew she blew where the wind set her free

         A
Blowin kisses on the breeze

           E
Summers barefoot and skinned knees

 B                                       E
Time passed like shadows dancin' on the walls

          A
Sippin' sweet tea on her swing

           E
Her mama humming "silver wings"

        B                              E
Oh the wind, it always knew my mama's song

 E
Mama always knew exactly when I'd need her

      A
She left her borrowed lessons out for her little midnight dreamer

       B                               E        B
And somehow I always found her in the dark

      E
She taught me how to cuss and how to sing

         A
How to pray and fight about damn near everything

          B                                 E
And if nothing else, always answer Mama's call

         A
Blowin kisses on the breeze

                 E
Summers spent chasing boys and stealin' keys

 B                                        E
Time passed like shadows dancin' on the wall

          A
Sippin' sweet tea on her swing

            E
The radio static hums "silver wings"

        B                              E
Oh the wind, it always knew my mama's song

     F#m             B
They say I have her mouth

        E             C#m
And of that I have no doubt

  F#m                B              E
I seem to have her temper and her tongue

       F#m          B
But my mama always ran

         E    B/D#  C#m     C#m7
And I somehow never can

        F#m             B                 E
But the wind remembers that old song she sung

         A
Blowin kisses on the breeze

                     E
Back when I thought Mama knew everything

 B                                       E
Time passed like shadows dancin' on the walls

          A       A/E     A
Sippin' sweet tea on my swing

             E
Singin' my babies "silver wings"

        B                              E
Oh the wind, it always knew my mama's song
