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?
