C C G
[Verse 1]
C C/G C
In an old house, in a bedroom, There’s an iron bed that I see
C C/G G
And a quilt made by her mother that she’s used since ‘63
C C7 F E Dm
And 2 dressers that are peeling back, that never matched at all
C G7 C C7
And a print you’ve seen a million times of Jesus on the wall.
[Chorus]
F
In my mama’s house
C
In my mama’s room
G7
We would dream about
C C7
All the things I’d do
F E Dm
And the way she talks about me now
C B Am
You’d think I’d hung the moon
F
But I saw my first angel
G7 C
In my mama’s room
[Verse 2]
C C/G C C/G
I’d wake up from a bad dream With monsters in my head
C C/G C G
And run like the hounds of satan Chased me to mama's bed
C C7 F E Dm
Safe and warm in her two arms She’d softly hum a tune
C G7 C C7
As slice of heaven here on earth that I call mama’s room
[Chorus]
F
In my mama’s house
C
In my mama’s room
G7
We would dream about
C C7
All the things I’d do
F E Dm
And the way she talks about me now
C B Am
You’d think I’d hung the moon
F
But I saw my first angel
G7 C C7
In my mama’s room
[Outro]
F E Dm
And the way she talks about me now
C B Am
You’d think I’d hung the moon
F
But I saw my first angel
G7 C
In my mama’s room
