Chorded by Gary W, 30 Aug 2006
Intro: Follow pattern of line of first verse*
D D7 G
Last night my little boy, knelt down beside his
D
bed
E A7
He put his hands together, then he bowed his head
D D7 G D
He said Jesus up in Heaven, I need to talk to You
D A7 D
* My Mama Always said, You'd know what to do
D D7 G D
I just don't under- -stand, why Mom was called a- way
E A7
But Daddy said that we, will understand some- -day,
D D7 G D
But since my Mama's gone, oh things are not the same,
A7 D
Sometimes at night, I hear Daddy call her name
D D7 G D
Please tell my Mama, that I'm being good
E A7
I'm doing all the things, that she said I should
D D7 G D
I'm trying so very hard, to be her little man
D A7 D
And each night before supper, I wash my face and hands
Instrumental: Same as Intro
D D7 G D
Please tell my Mama, that I miss her so
E A7
And oh how I love her, but this You already know
D D7 G D
And there's just one thing more, to say before I'm through,
A7 D
Jesus I feel better, when I talk to You
[TALK THIS PART]
D D7
Well I just stood there in the hallway, with
G D
tears running down my cheeks. My little boy crawled
E A7
into bed, and soon was fast a- -sleep.
D D7 G D
But I knew he'd found an inner strength, and it would always see him through
[SING THIS LINE]
A7 D
And I said Jesus up in Heaven, I need to talk to you
