Hey Mama Life (Ray Thomas)
D A G A
Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time
D A G A
For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar
D A G A
Now I do believe, the life I lead, won't get me very far
F#m Bm
I was once told, the streets were paved in gold
Em Asus A
Now I know them for what they are
D A G A
Hey, hey mama life, has a sweeter sound
D A G A
For a man, who lives his life, for his dream
D A
Yet he must be aware, there are those who care
G A
And of those who would bring him down
F#m Bm Em Asus A
Separate trust, from your cut and thrust, the truth can still be found
Bm F#m Bm Em
For the crossroads of your life, will lead you almost anywhere
A
You'll see tomorrow
Bm F#m Bm Em A
Your castles in the air, they were never really there
D F#m Bm D
Take the pride from a man, you're left without a meaning
G F#m Em
Take the wings from a bird, how can it fly
D F#m Bm D
Give him hope, give him trust, and a little understanding
G F#m Em
Give him back his pride, you'll be satisfied
D A G A
[Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...] x3
D A G G G/F# Em A
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
D A G A
Hey, hey mama life, is a lonely time
D A G A
For a man, who drinks his whisky, by the jar
D A G A
Now I do believe, the life I lead, it won't get me very far
F#m Bm
I was once told, the streets they were paved in gold
Em Asus A
Now I know them for what they are
D A G A
[Aaaaaaaaaahhhh...] Repeat and fade
