Introdução:

                                D                         G                                 D                                         G  
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
                D                                                 G                                 A7  
And a young-on's dream of growing up to ride
             D                                                      G                      D                                            G  
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound
                  D                                                 A7                                 D  
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried
One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
D                                                                                                      G                                    D  
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
        Bm                                                                                         A7  
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
             D                                                                                      G                                 D  
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied,
                                                             A7                                            D  
that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
