     D                      G
The first thing I remember knowin 
          D                G
Was that lonesome whistle blowin' 
       D
And a youngin's dream 
                  A
Of growin' up to ride 
      D                     G
On a freight train leavin' town 
     D                   G
Not knowin' where I was bound 
 D                      A  
No one could change my mind 
          D
But mama tried 
 
         D          G
Was the only rebel child 
        D               G
From a family meek and mild 
 D
Mama seemed to know 
             A
What lay in store 
             D
In spite of all my 
        G
Sunday learnin' 
         D             G
For the bad I kept on turnin' 
     D             A          D
And mama couldn't hold me anymore 
 
              D
And I turned 21 in prison 
       G              D
Doin' life without parole 
    Bm
No one could steer me right 
                      A           A7
But mama tried, mama tried, mama tried 
      D
Mama tried to raise me better 
         G            D
But her pleadin' I denied 
                        A
That leaves only me to blame 
             D
'Cause mama tried

Dear old daddy rest his soul 
         D           G
Left my mom a heavy load 
     D
She tried so very hard 
             A
To fill his shoes 
         D             G
Workin' hours without rest 
        D              G
Wanted me to have the best 
         D                 A
Oh, she tried to raise me right

But I refused
