G      D                             C           G
No     affection were the words that stuck on my mind
         D                        C         G
When she walked out on me for the very last time
   G                         G7              C
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
        G                         D7           G
I don't know what I've done to be treated this way
     D                            C          G
In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself
       D                       C             G
With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf
   G                         G7              C
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
        G                           D7        G
I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed

        E                      D    A
Then an angel appeared she was just 17
     E                     D             A
In a dirty old gown with a conscious so clean
  A                          A7              D
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
      A                            E          A   A7
She's brought back the life that I once threw away
      D                A           E          A    D     A
She's brought back the life that I once threw away
