Mamas Arms

D going back to a tender age , A so full of confusion and rage , C G Daddy says , boys , your mama’s gone . D there’s a hand on your shoulder as you’re throwing dirt , A someone says , time heals the hurt . C G little man , you got to keep on keepin’ on , D A D G D A D but all you want is mama’s arms . D you ride back home in a limosine , A the saddEst car that you’ve ever seen , C G your brother can not look you in the eye . D lightning strikes , thunder roars , A an early winter in that heart of yours , C G but you swear you won’t let them see you cry D A D G D A D ’cause all you want is mama’s arms . D the neighbors come and bring you pies , A endless words and futile sighs , C G and you run up to your room and lock the door . D and there you are in your sunday best , A the way your mama would have had you dressed C G and you realize it doesn’t matter anymore D A D G D A G ’cause all you want is mama’s arms . D ’round and ’round and ’round it goes . A the seasons change the young boy grows C G to understand it’s all part of some plan . D you used to wonder what it’s all about . A now those are questions you can do without . C G you laugh them off and do the best you can D A D G D A G all you want is mama’s arms D A D G D A G all you want is mama’s arms
