[Verse 1]
D G
The first thing I remember knowing
D G
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
D A7
And a young'un's dream of growing up to ride
D G
On a freight train leaving town
D G
Not knowing where I'm bound
D A7 D
And 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 A7
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
D G
Despite all my Sunday learning
D G
Towards the bad I kept on turning
D A7 D
'Til mama couldn't hold me anymore
[Chorus]
D G D
And I turned twentyone in prison doing life without parole
Bm
No one could steer me right but mama tried,
A7
mama tried
D
Mama tried to raise me better,
G D
but her pleading I denied
A7 D
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
D G
Dear old daddy, rest his soul
D G
Left my mom a heavy load
D A7
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
D G
Working hours without rest
D G
Wanted me to have the best
D A7 D
She tried to raise me right but I refused
[Chorus]
D G D
And I turned twentyone in prison doing life without parole
Bm
No one could steer me right but mama tried,
A7
mama tried
D
Mama tried to raise me better,
G D
but her pleading I denied
A7
That leaves only me to blame 'cause mama tried
