I saw the ending for this song in a recent edition of Guitar Player.
I worked on the chords a little, still thing they need some adjusting.
Please feel free to correct them and add the missing lyrics.
Momma Tried Merle Haggard
D G D G
One and only Rebel child from a family meek and mild
D A7
my Momma seemed to to know what lay in store
D G D G
In spite of all my Sunday learning towards the bad I kept on turning
D A7 D
til Momma couldn't hold me anymore
D7 G D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
D A7
No one could steer me right but Mamma tried, Momma tried
D7 G D
Momma tried to raise me better but her pleadings I denied
D G A7 D
And that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma tried
Dear old Daddy, rest his soul left my Mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to feel his shoes
Don't remember the rest-anyone?
