jenkins - Blame It On Mama guitar chord

Standard Tuning

Intro: All in D

D

When I was 6 or 7

A

Mama tucked me in

D

With a lullaby and it

A

Made my eyes open wide again

G

I would lie awake and wonder

D G

Why a boy named Billy Joel

D

Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge

A

To the river far below

Chorus:

G

Blame it on mama

D

And the songs she loved to sing

G D

I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing

G D

Don't come from Alabama or a hill from Tennessee

C

Just blame it on mama, she sang (she sang)

D

The country into me

D

I just loved to listen

A

As she'd sing those story songs

D

'Bout a coat of many colors

A

Or a girl named Delta Dawn

G

When the lights went out in Georgia

D G

I would beg for just one more

D

All about Fancy and the pretty red satin

A

Dancing dress she wore

(Chorus)

G D

I'm a coal miner's daughter

G D

Lovin my preacher's son

G D

I have walked the streets of La Reto

A

Stared down the barrel of a law man's gun

G D

I've grown roots and I've got claims

G D

To places I've never been

G D

And when I sing those songs it takes me

A

Right back home again

D

(Chorus)

D

The country into me, yeah
