Mama Tried
Merle Haggard

            
D
          
G
             
D
                
G
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
      
D
                   
G
             
A7
And a young-on's dream of growing up to ride
     
D
                     
G
         
D
                 
G
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound
       
D
                   
A7
             
D
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried

One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
'Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

CHORUS:
D
                                       
G
              
D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
   
G
                  
D
                           
A7
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
     
D
                                 
G
             
D
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied,
                       
A7
                 
D
that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried

Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

CHORUS
