Intro:
Dm C Am
*Verse*
Dm
Mama she has taught me well
C Am
Told me when I was young
Dm
Son your life's an open book
C Am
Don't close it before it's done
Dm
The brightest flame burns quickest
C Am
Thats what I heard her say
D
The son's heart's owed to mother
C Am
But I must find my way....
*Chorus*
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
*Intro again*
*Verse 2*
Dm
Remember my new last name
C Am
Wild blood in my veins
Dm
Draping the strings around my neck
C Am
The mark that still remains
Dm
Left home at an early age
C Am
of what I heard was wrong (?)
Dm
I never asked forgiveness
C Am
For what is said is done....
*Chorus*
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still.
*Verse 3*
Dm
Mama now I'm coming home
C Am
I'm not all you wished of me
Dm
A mother's love for her son
C Am
was spoken heavily(?)
Dm
yeah I took your love for granted
C Am
and all the things you said to me
Dm
I need your arms to welcome me
C Am
That cold stone's all I see.....
*Chorus*
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
Dm C Am Dm
Let my heart go
Dm C Am Dm
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Am Dm
You never let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
(solo over Dm G C F twice)
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still.
