Verse
Gm Daug A# C C/D
Mother may I, I would say
Gm Daug A# C C/D
Yes sweet baby take it away
Gm Daug A# C C/D
It won't be long, just remember that
Gm Daug A#
Powerful is the woman in you
C C/D
Stay true
[Chorus]
D# A# F Gm
And she'd come to me when fire & water was gone
D# A# D
To caress the empty with a song
D# A# F Gm
Saying why cry for anger that bullets the sky
D# A# D
Just remember I'll remember & mama
Gm
I'll get by...
[Verse]
Gm Daug A# C C/D
I know my face seems crazed & wild
Gm Daug A# C C/D
But I got her eyes, A# mama's child am I
Gm Daug A# C C/D
She's blessed with grace & is smooth as a line
Gm Daug A# C C/D
And when I shade she helps me shine
[Chorus]
D# A# F Gm
And she comes to me when there's nothing I believe
D# A# D
And holds me so high yes I am free
D# A# F Gm
Saying why hold the anger, it won't let you fly
D# A# D
Just remember I'll remember & mama mama
Gm
I'll get by...
Confused by my own illusions
She said that it's only my pride
And even the simplest solutions
Still won't heal my mind
So I'll remember
I'll remember and I'll get by
