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