[Intro]
A D
[Verse 1]
D G Not so very long ago when I was young, and time was mine to spend A D A I'd do what little boys would do all day until the sun sank low again D G When supper time was over I'd climb the stairs and try to fall asleep A D I'd close my eyes, say my prayers, and Mama always sang a song for me
[Chorus]
G D She'd sing Jesus hold my hand A D Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me G D She sang Lord I saw the light A D A D Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me
[Verse 2]
D G Years went by like summertime, one day I grew up and moved away A D A Against my better judgment I was easily and often led astray D G But it seemed no matter where I went, whatever kind of trouble I would find A D Mama's voice would echo through the cold and lonely corners of my mind
[Chorus]
G D She'd sing Jesus hold my hand A D Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me G D She sang Lord I saw the light A D A D Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me
[Verse 3]
D G I don't try to count the miles or moments that have forced themselves between A D A And I can't take back the things I've done or be a better man than I have been D G But some nights I'd do anything to hear my mama sing once again A So I close my eyes, say my prayers D In the stillness I remember when
[Out-Chorus]
G D She'd sing Jesus hold my hand A D Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me G D She sang Lord I saw the light A D Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me G D She'd sing Jesus hold my hand A D Oh how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me G D She sang Lord I saw the light A D Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me A D Everything would be alright when Mama sang for me
