Blame It On Mama

• D

Intro: All in D 
 
D 
When I was 6 or 7 
               A 
Mama tucked me in 
        D 
With a lullaby and it 
                       A 
Made my eyes open wide again 
         G                             
I would lie awake and wonder 
       D               G 
Why a boy named Billy Joel 
        D 
Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge 
        A 
To the river far below 

G 
Blame it on mama 
	 D 
And the songs she loved to sing 
     G			   D 
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing 
	G		D 
Don't come from Alabama or a hill from Tennessee 
	C 
Just blame it on mama, she sang (she sang) 
           D 
The country into me 
 
D 
I just loved to listen 
		            A 
As she'd sing those story songs 
	D 
'Bout a coat of many colors 
		      A 
Or a girl named Delta Dawn 
         G			 
When the lights went out in Georgia 
	D	         G 
I would beg for just one more 
D 
All about Fancy and the pretty red satin  
A 
Dancing dress she wore 
 
(Chorus) 
 
G		    D 
I'm a coal miner's daughter 
G		    D 
Lovin my preacher's son 
	G		       D 
I have walked the streets of La Reto 
		A 
Stared down the barrel of a law man's gun 
 
G		       D 
I've grown roots and I've got claims 
G		     D 
To places I've never been 
G		       D 
And when I sing those songs it takes me 
A 
Right back home again 
 
D 
 
(Chorus) 
 
    D 
The country into me, yeah
