C            G7          C 
(Momma can't see me down here) 

                  F                C 
Momma always knew when I'd break a promise 
                                       G7 
She could see it when she looked in my face 
    C                           F                C 
And before she went to heaven I promised her I'd change 
                       G7           C 
But my life’s become a shame and disgrace 

  F                             C 
I know that somewhere there's a heaven 
                       A7                 D7   G7 
And I know my precious mother is gonna be there 
  F                          C 
I hope there's a wall around heaven 
               G7          C 
So momma can't see me down here 

                           F                       C 
I know if she could see me how sad her heart would be 
                                        G7 
Cause I'm worse now than I've ever been before 
    C                      F                     C 
But momma I'm gonna change and I'll live for the Lord 
                 G7                C 
I'll meet you in heaven some sweet day 

  F                             C 
I know that somewhere there's a heaven 
                       A7                 D7   G7 
And I know my precious mother is gonna be there 
  F                          C 
I hope there's a wall around heaven 
               G7          C 
So momma can't see me down here 
  
             G7          C 
(Momma can't see me down here)
