Intro: G C Am D C G
G
She was just sixteen and all alone
C Am
When I came to be
D
So we grew up together
C G
My mama child and me
Now things were bad and she was scared
C Am
But whenever I would cry
D
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears
C G
With a rock and roll lullaby
And she would sing
G Am
Sha na na na na na na na na na na... it will be all right

G
We made it through the lonely days
C Am
But Lord the nights were long
D
And we?d dream of better moments
C G
When mama sang her song
Now I can't recall the words at all
C Am
It don't make sense to try

'Cause I just knew lots of love came thru

In that rock and roll lullaby
And she would sing
