G Am7 C  D   (x2)



🎸 Verse 1:
G                                    C
Me and Jimmy Crowder and a single cigarette
G                                    C
Crouched down in a stall out in the barn.
G                                           C
Three puffs later we were sick as we could get
G                              C       D
Praying we'd get better before we got home.
Am          Am7/B              C
She saw me coming through the back door screen
Am          Am7/B            C       D
I knew the minute that she looked at me.
🎸 Chorus:
      G G/B C      G G/B C
Mama knows
Mama knows.
   G  G/F#   Em                 C           D
Sometimes I think she's got a window to my soul.
      G G/B C      G G/B C
Mama knows
Mama knows.
Em                            C   D
Even when I think it doesn't show
      C
Mama knows.

🎸 Verse 2:
G                                    C
Me and Becky Johnson ankle deep in ocean waves
G                                    C
Pants rolled up and hearts out on our sleeves
G                                    C
Both feeling more than either one of us could say
G                              C       D
That first love left the sweetest memory
Am          Am7/B              C
Fifteen and shy I didn't tell a soul.
Am        Am7/B       C         D
How is it Mama never has to be told?

🎸 Chorus:
      G G/B C      G G/B C
Mama knows
Mama knows.
   G  G/F#   Em                 C           D
Sometimes I think she's got a window to my soul.
      G G/B C      G G/B C
Mama knows
Mama knows.
Em                            C   D
Even when I think it doesn't show
      C      C   G/B   Am:
Mama knows.

🎸 Bridge:
Am                            D  C   G/B   Am:
I wasn't home when Mama passed away.
Am             Am7/B      C
Didn't get to say I love you
C                   E
But I've got this feeling.

🎸 Chorus:
