I'm The Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[B][B][B][B]

[Verse 1]
[B]I can tell my mama's short on loving me
I guess that's why she let me go so far
[E]Mama tried to stop me short of stealing
I [B]guess that's why I had to steal that car
She told me not to smoke it
But I did and it took me far a[E]way
And [F#]I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [B]raised

[Verse 2]
Well, I [B]rolled into Atlanta,
stolen tags and almost out of gas
I [E]had to get some money,
lately I'd learned how to get it fast
Those [B]neon lights was calling me
and somehow I just had to get down[E]town
So I [F#]reached into the glove box,
another liquor store went [B]down

[Chorus 1]
And I [B]said 'Precious memories',
take me back to the good ol' [E]days'
Let me [F#]hear my men and sing,
'Rock of Ages, Cleft for [B]Me'
She tried to turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on to the devil's [E]ways
And [F#]I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [B]raised

[Verse 3]
[C]When they put put them handcuffs on me,
Lord how I fought to resist
But [F]a gent clamped clamped 'em tighter,
'til that metal bit into my wrist
They took my [C]belt and my billfold,
my fingerprints, and the profile of my [F]face
And [G]then they locked away
the only hell my mama ever [C]raised

[Chorus 2]
And I'd [C]say 'Precious memories',
take me back to the good ol' [F]days'
Let me [G]hear my men and sing,
'Rock of Ages, Cleft for [C]Me'
She tried to turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on to the devil's [F]ways
And [G]I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [C]raised[Db]

[Chorus 3]
She tried to [Db]turn me on to Jesus,
but I turned on to the devil's [Gb]ways
And [Ab]I turned out to be
The only hell my mama ever [Db]raised
