[Chorus]
Em A C D Mama, why did you do it? Em A C D Mama, who drove you to it?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G Em C Am C D Life is nothing much to lose G Em C Am C D It's just so lonely here without you
[Chorus]
Em A C D Mama, why did you do it? Em A C D Mama, who drove you to it?

Em A C D Spare priggish money-men, who scared the life out of you Em A C D Bailiffs with bad-breath, I will slit their throats for you
