Introduction:
F Am Bb Am Gm(3x)
cross this road...
F Am
When I was just a little boy
Bb Am Gm
Well I would go out to play
And I would wander so far from home
F C
Momma hold my hand
Bb Am Gm F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
F Am
And when I was a young man
Bb Am Gm
I would go astray
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand
Dm Am
And my momma would come out to help me
Dm Am
But I pushed her away
Dm Am
Cause I just wanted to be on my own
Bb C
And here's what I say
F C
Momma leave my hand
Bb Am Gm F
I've been waiting to cross this road by myself
Am Bb Am Gm
Cross this road by myself
F Am
Well now that I'm a grown man
Bb Am Gm
And I've moved away
I got a house a 9to5
F C
Momma hold my hand
Bb Am Gm F
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
F Am Bb
Now my momma is near the end of her years
Bb Am Gm
And her hair is grey
Sometimes I call her
Dm Am
Momma used to be strong but she aint now
Dm Am
And she can't make her way
Dm Am
That's why I'm always around when she needs help
Bb C
And here's what I say
F C
Momma hold my hand
Bb Am Gm F
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
Momma hold my hand
