Hey Mama Life (Ray Thomas)

D A G A

Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time

D A G A

For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar

D A G A

Now I do believe, the life I lead, won't get me very far

F#m Bm

I was once told, the streets were paved in gold

Em Asus A

Now I know them for what they are

D A G A

Hey, hey mama life, has a sweeter sound

D A G A

For a man, who lives his life, for his dream

D A

Yet he must be aware, there are those who care

G A

And of those who would bring him down

F#m Bm Em Asus A

Separate trust, from your cut and thrust, the truth can still be found

Bm F#m Bm Em

For the crossroads of your life, will lead you almost anywhere

A

You'll see tomorrow

Bm F#m Bm Em A

Your castles in the air, they were never really there

D F#m Bm D

Take the pride from a man, you're left without a meaning

G F#m Em

Take the wings from a bird, how can it fly

D F#m Bm D

Give him hope, give him trust, and a little understanding

G F#m Em

Give him back his pride, you'll be satisfied

D A G A

[Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...] x3

D A G G G/F# Em A

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

D A G A

Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time

D A G A

For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar

D A G A

Now I do believe, the life I lead, it won't get me very far

F#m Bm

I was once told, the streets they were paved in gold

Em Asus A

Now I know them for what they are

D A G A

[Aaaaaaaaaahhhh...] Repeat and fade
