Warren Zevon – Mama Couldnt Be Persuaded (Ukulele)

C    
Gambler ambled down a country lane  

        G
Looking for a game of chance

     F      
She was twenty-one or two  

    C            
And she knew what she wanted

    G        C
And she wanted that gamblin' man

C
Her parents warned her  

F      C      G
She was determined that she wanted Bill  

F      C
They'd all be offended at the mention still

       G
If they heard this song, which I doubt they will

     C      
And my mama couldn't be persuaded  

           F
When they pleaded with their daughter  

      C      G  C
Don't marry that gamblin' man  

           F
When they pleaded with their daughter  

      C      G  C
Don't marry that gamblin' man  

    F  C
When they pleaded with her

   G     C
No, no nevertheless

           F
When they pleaded with their daughter  

      C      G  C
Don't marry that gamblin' man
