[Verse 1]
D A D            D              G
     First thing I remember knowin'
          D               G
Was a lonesome whistle blowin'
          D              G               A
And a youngun's dream of growin' up to ride
         D                      G
On a freight train leavin' town,
    D                    G
Not knowin' where I bound
D                          A            D
No one could change my mind but mama tried

[Verse 2]
          D             G
One and only rebel child
         D                  G
From a family meek and mild,
  D                G                 A
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
               D                   G
In spite of all my Sunday learnin',
        D                 G
For the bad I kept on turnin'
D                 A          D
Mama couldn't hold me anymore

[Chorus]
             D
And I turned twenty one in prison
      C                  D
Doin' life without parole
   Bm
No one could steer me right
            A
But mama tried, mama tried,
        D
Mama tried to raise me better
            G             D
But her pleadin' I denied,
              D             A               D
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried

[Verse 3]
D A D         D                    G
     Dear old daddy, rest his soul,
        D               G
Left my mom a heavy load
    D               G                 A
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
           D               G
Workin' hours without rest,
         D              G
Wanted me to have the best,
    D                      A             D
She tried to raise me right but I refused

[Chorus]
             D
And I turned twenty one in prison
      C                  D
Doin' life without parole
   Bm
No one could steer me right
            A
But mama tried, mama tried,
        D
Mama tried to raise me better
            G             D
But her pleadin' I denied,
              D             A               D
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
