Mama Said Acoustic

Riff-2
Riff-3
INTRO, riff-1:
1st VERSE, riff-1:
Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard her say
A son's heart sewed to mother
But I must find my way
CHORUS, riff-2:
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
2nd VERSE, riff-1:
Rebel my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what is said is done
CHORUS, riff-2 (last line ends on Asus4 instead of Asus2):
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
BRIDGE, riff-3:
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still
3rd VERSE, riff-1:
Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Spoken, help me be
Well, I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But, a cold stone's all I see
CHORUS, riff-1 (last line ends on Asus4 instead of Asus2):
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
CHORUS, riff-1:
Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still
ENDING, riff-3 (last line fades out on Am):
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still
