Intro:

G6                      A7       G6   A7
 Is this the real life?  Is this just fantasy?
D7           Am7  D7           G         Am7 G
 Caught in a land-slide; no es-cape from re -ality.

Em                    G7                  C    C/B
 Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see.
Am                    D7
 I'm just a poor boy,  I need no sympathy, because I'm;

Ab    G     F#   G
 Easy come, easy go,
Ab      G     F#     G
 Little high, little low.

C            G          Bbdim           D7                G
 Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me...to me.

Verse 1:

G           Em
 Mama, just killed a man,
      Am                              Am7               D
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
G               Em
 Mama, life had just begun.
    Am7               Ab+       C     D    Dm
But now I've gone and thrown it all a-way.

C      G/B Am          Dm
 Mama, oo -ooh, didn't mean to make you cry.
   G              G7                 C
If I'm not back a-gain, this time to-morrow;
      C/B       Am         Dm             C
Carry on, carry on...as if nothing really matters.

Interlude:

C  F  C, Cdim  Dm7, G

Verse 2:

G             Em
 Too late; my time has come,
     Am                            Am7            D
Sent shivers down my spine, body's achin' all the time.
G                        Em
 Goodbye everybody; I've got to go.
      Am7              Ab+      C        D      Dm
Gotta leave you all be-hind and face the truth.

C      G/B Am   Dm               Fdim
 Mama, oo -ooh,  I don't want to die.
  G                  G7                 C
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
