  			Am                                                           
OH, MAMMY... OH, MAMMY, MAMMY  
Dm              E             Am                                         
BLUE  OH, MAMMY BLUE...  
Am  
I MAY BE YOUR FORGOTTEN SON  
 
WHO WANDERED OFF AT TWENTY-ONE.  
          G  
IT'S SAD TO FIND MYSELF AT HOME  
           Am  
AND  YOU,       YOU?RE  NOT AROUND 
  
 
Am  
IF I   COULD ONLY HOLD YOUR HAND  
 
AND SAY I'M SORRY,   YES I AM,  
        G  
I'M SURE YOU'LL REALLY UNDERSTAND,  
        Am   
OH, MAM,       WHERE ARE YOU NOW? 
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Am  
THE HOME WE SHARED UPON THE HILL 
 
SEEMS LIFELESS,  BUT IS STANDING STILL 
           G  
AND MEMORIES OF MAY CHILD DAYS 
                   Am 
FILLS MY MIND,  OH  MAY MAY MAY       
  
 
Am  
I?VE BEEN THROUGH ALL THE WALKS OF LIFE  
 
SEEN TIRED DAYS AND LONELY NIGHTS 
           G  
AND NOW WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE 
      Am  
I?M LOST,      HOW WILL I  SURVIVE
