G
  We made it through the lonely days
 C                          Am
  But Lord the nights were long
             D
  And we'd dream of better moments
C                      G
  When mama sang a song
  G
  Now I can't recall the words at all
      C                      Am
  It don't make sense to try
        D
  Cause I just knew lots of love came through
            C                   G
  In that rock and roll lullaby

        And she'd sing
