  			E       A                 E 
Goodbye momma  goodbye to you too pa 
F#m                                               A   Amaj7  
Little sister you'll have to wait a while to come along 
E                A          E 
Goodybye to this house and all it's memories 
F#m                              A   Amaj7 
We just got too old to say we're wrong 
E      E/D#     E/C#      E/B   Amaj7 
Got to make one last trip to my bedroom 
E          E/D#    E/C#       E/B   Amaj7                    
Guess I'll have to leave some stuff behind 
E          E/D#    D/C#     E/B     Amaj7 
It's funny how the same old crooked pictures 
E          E/D#     D/C#    E/B Amaj7 
Just don't seem the same to me  tonight 
E              A               E       
There ain't no use in  sheding lonely tears mamma 
F#m                                  A   Amaj7 
There ain't no use in shouting at me pa 
E               A                E 
I can't live no longer with your fears mamma 
F#m                                  A Amaj7 
I love you but that hasn't helped at all 
E       E/D#    E/C#          E/B  Amaj7 
Each of us must do the things that matter 
E      E/D#     E/C#       E/B  Amaj7 
All of us  must see what we can see 
E      E/D#     E/C# E/B     Amaj7 
It was long ago you  must remember 
E        E/D#    E/C#      E/B       Amaj7 
You were once as young and scared as me 
E            A                  E  
I don't know how hard it is yet mamma 
F#m                              A  Amaj7 
When you relaize you're growning old 
E          A                 E 
I know how hard is not to be younger 
F#m                                     A  Amaj7 
I know you've tried to keep me from the cold 
E          E/D#    E/C#        E/B   Amaj7 
Thanks for all you done it may sound hollow 
E         E/D#    E/C#            E/B   Amaj7 
Thank you for the good times that we've known 
E     E/D#      E/C#        E/B    Amaj7 
But I must find my own road now to follow 
E        E/D#   E/C#    E/B   Amaj7 
You will all be welcome in my home 
E          A               E 
Got my suitacse I must go now 
F#m                                A  Amj7 
I don't  mind about the things you said 
E         A                          E 
I'm sorry Mom I don't know where I'm going 
F#m                         A   Amqj7 
Remember little sister look ahead 
E        E/D#      E/C#    E/B   Amaj7     
Tomorrow I'll be   in some other sunrise 
E     E/D#      E/C#    E/B   Amaj7 
Maybe I'll have someone at my side 
E                                 Amaj7 
Mamma give your love back to your husband 
E                                 Amaj7 
Father you've have taught we well goodbye 
E       A                    E   A   E               
Goodbye Mamma goodbye to you too pa
