 Metallica - MAMA SAID
========================

Dm     C     Am

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
Dm
The son's heart's owed to mother
    C             Am
But I must find my way....


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.

Remember my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Draping the strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
of what I heard was wrong (?)
I never asked forgiveness
For what is said is done....

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Mama let this heart be still.

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.


Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
was spoken heavily(?)
yeah I took your love for granted
and all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
That cold stone's all I see.....

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Mama let this heart be still.
Let my heart go
Mama let my heart go
You never let my heart go
Mama let this heart be still.

Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
that I'll take to my grave
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
that I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still.
