Tim McGraw – I Called Mama (Guitar)

      D/F#        Dmaj7          G      D/F#
Got a call from a friend about a friend

          G           D/F#          Em7  A
With some news no one ever wants to hear

   D/F#          Dmaj7             G       D
It hit me like a punch, it took my breath

       G            D/F#     Em7       A
He was just gettin' into his best years

      Bm             A                 G   D/F#
Yeah, somethin' like that'll shake you up

         Em7  A
Wake you up

     D/F#             A                Bm7            A
So I stopped off at a Texaco, bought a Slim Jim and a coke

G                 D/F#          Em7              A
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow

           D/F#            A                  Bm7           A
Grabbed my guitar from the back seat, wrote a song just for me

      G               D/F#            Em7             A
And I sung it for the blue sky and a couple live oak trees

             Bm               A              G      A
I thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocket

             D/F#  Dmaj7 D/F# Dmaj7
And I called mama

   D/F#          Dmaj7                 G   D/F#
It rang a couple times, and she picked up

      G               D/F#          Em7  A
I can always hear her smile when I call

       D/F#      Dmaj7            G      D/F#
I just called to tell you that I loved you

      G               D/F#                  Em7  A
I was missing you and dad and home, that's all

  Bm            A             G       D/F#
I got to really thinking this morning

               Em7      A
About what's important

     D/F#             A                Bm7            A
So I stopped off at a Texaco, bought a Slim Jim and a coke

G                 D/F#           Em7              A
Parked out by the water just to watch that river flow

           D/F#            A                  Bm7           A

      G               D/F#           Em7             A
And I sung it for the blue sky and a couple live oak trees

             Bm               A              G      A
I thought of home, grabbed my phone from my pocket

             D/F#
And I called mama

    Em          Em
And from now on

              A            A
I ain't gonna wait so long

     D/F#        A           Bm7            A
To stop off at a Texaco, buy Slim Jim and a coke

G               D/F#          Em7              A
Park out by the water just to watch that river flow

        D/F#             A                  Bm7           A

           Bm            A              G      A
I think of home, grab my phone from my pocket

           Bm       A           G        A
Instead of sayin' tomorrow, I'm gonna

           D/F#  Dmaj7 D/F# Dmaj7
And I call mama

           D/F# Dmaj7 D/F# Dmaj7 D/F#
And I call mama
