Mama's Pride

 

This song is also known as Song for Bob.

(D) Joey died Fourth July
(F#m) Years went by, Mama cried
(E7) Until she died
(A) I was 45
(A7) Like Mama's pride

(D) Yesterday beats on and on
(F#m) His cruelty and her kisses
(E7) Mama's pride, (Gm) the first to die
(D) Killed me when we were kids
(A7sus4) Mama's pride
(A7) Oh, Mama's pride
(D) Look what Mama's pride has done

(F#m) Joey, why'd you (Gm) hit me
(F#m) Mama, please come (Gm) kiss me
(F#m) I miss you both, (Gm) I can't let go
(A) My life lives in your (D) deaths
(A7sus4) Mama's pride
(A7) Oh, Mama's pride
(D) Look what Mama's pride has done 

(D) Both are gone I can't move on
(F#m) Memories bind the great beyond
(E7) What I miss: (Gm)a fist, a kiss
(D) Apron strings reach to God
(A7sus4) Mama's gone
(A7) Gone with Mama's pride
(D) Look what Mama's pride has done
