Mama Tried Harmonica Tab

Mama Tried

4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -5 -5
First thing I remember knowin’

5 -5 6 6 6 5 -6 -6
was a lonesome whistle blowin’

5 -5 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 5 4 -4
And a young-on’s dream of growing up to ride

4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -5
On a freight train leaving town,

-5 6 6 6 5 -6
not knowing where I’m bound

5 -5 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried

4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -5 5 -5 6 6 6 5 -6
One and only rebel child, from a fam’ly meek and mild

6 6 6 5 -5 -5 5 4 -4
Mama seemed to know what lay in store

4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -5 -5
‘Spite of all my Sunday learnin’,

5 -5 6 6 6 6 5 -6 -6
toward the bad I kept on turnin’

-6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4
‘Til Mama couldn’t hold me anymore

CHORUS:

6 6 6 7 7 7 7 7 6
And I turned twenty-one in prison

6 6 -6 -6 6 -5 6
doing life without parole

4 4 4 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 -7 -7 -8
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried

-7-7 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 6 -6 -6 6 -5 6
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied,

4 -4 5 5 6 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4
that leaves only me to blame, ’cause Mama tried

4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -5 -5 5 -5 6 6 6 5 -6
Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load

6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 5 4 -4
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes

4 -4 5 5 -4 4 -5 -5 5 -5 6
Working hours without rest, she wanted me

6 6 5 -6
to have the best

-6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 5 -4 4
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

CHORUS
