Emmylou Harris

^G No ^D affection were the words that ^C stuck on my ^G mind
When she ^D walked out on me for the ^C very last ^G time
Oh ^G mamma sweet mamma can you ^G7 tell me what to ^C say
I don't ^G know what I've done to be ^D7 treated this ^G way
In a ^D cold dirty room that's where ^C I found mys ^G elf
With a ^D bottle of wine and some ^C pills off the ^G shelf
Oh ^G mamma sweet mamma can you ^G7 tell me what to ^C say
I don't ^G know what I've done and I'm ^D7 feeling so ^G ashamed
^{A D A D A E A}
Then an ^E angel appeared she was ^D just ^A 17
In a ^E dirty old gown with a ^D conscious so c ^A lean
Oh ^A mamma sweet mamma can you ^A7 tell me what to ^D say
She's ^A brought back the life that I ^E once threw ^A away ^A7
She's ^D brought back the ^A life that I ^E once threw ^A away ^{D A}
