D G A Bm A G A D
[Verse]
D G D
His friends have never seen him cry
D G
All the skinned knees and fist fights
A
Not a tear left his eye
D G A Bm A G
When it’s just her that’s a whole different saga
A D
‘Cause he’ll cry for mama
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 G D
She’s the rock on the end of the phone any day or night
G Cadd9 G A
She’s the tattoo on his left arm and why he tries to do right

No matter where he roams he can always call home
A D
And cry to his mama
[Interlude]

He thought that girl would be his one and only

Then she left him behind, acted so coldly

He’d get mad and break glass

But he won’t cry for that drama
A D
But he’ll cry for mama

She’s the rock on the end of the phone any day or night

No matter where he roams he can always call home

And cry to his mama
[Interlude]

On the day they lay her in the grave
D G A
All he’ll remember is all the love that she gave
D G A Bm A G
He’ll stand strong like a soldier straight out of sparta
A Bm
But he’ll cry for his mama
A D
Yeah he’ll cry for mama
G Cadd9 G D
Now until the day that he dies he’ll look towards the skies
G Cadd9 G A
There’s a prayer in every tear that falls from his eyes
D G A Bm A G
Now he’s all alone the lords called her home
A Bm G
But he still cries for mama
A D
Yeah he’ll cry for mama
