Spice Girls - Mama guitar tab
Mama - Spice Girls
Tabbed by Adam Bishop
Capo 1
All tab is relative to capo....so a "9" is actually played at fret 10.
C/G - 332010
D/F# - 200232
Em7 - 022033
G - 320033
You don't really need to play the G or F# bass notes but I think it sounds
better that way.
Intro (violin or cello, somemthing like that):

C/G D/F# Em7
She used to be my only enemy, never letting me be free
D/F# G C/G
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
D/F# Em7
Every other day I crossed the line, I didn't mean to be so bad
D/F# G C/G
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
(With intro riff)
Back then I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love
Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama my friend
My friend
(Riff)
Riff (this is a flute or something, and it's probably not right):

D|-10/11\10p8h10-----
A|---------------8-8-
E|-------------------
I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility
Chorus
Riff
Mama I'm sure I know why, why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all I can give you is love
Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama I care
(With Riff)
Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama I care
Repeat, with different words sometimes, for a few minutes until fadeout
