Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
You could've been [G]bitter,
[C]you could've hated him
You could've [D]talked about the
whiskey and the wo[G]men
He could've done better but
you [C]loved him anyhow
Then you [D]taught us all the power
of forgiveness
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Mama, you were smil[C]ing when you
could've been crying all night
[G]Oh mama, you [D]made me believe
everything was [G]alright
Mama, [C]you never wore
your pain too [G]thick
I'd like to [D]thank you for this
[G]

[Verse 3]
You could've fought,
you could've [C]cut him down to shame
You could've [D]told us that our
daddy didn't [G]want us
That wasn't true if you [C]knew it all along
It was [D]a struggle between the
[Dsus4]road and [D]loving [Dsus4]you[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Mama, you were smil[C]ing when
you could've been crying all night
[G]Oh mama,
you [D]made me believe everything was alright
[G]Oh mama,
you [C]never wore your pain too [G]thick
I'd like to [D]thank you for this
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
You did more good for me
than [C]you will ever know
I've seen [G]mothers fill their children's
hearts with [D]hate[Dsus4][D]
But you knew better than
[C]to drag me down with you
You [G]let me love my daddy just the [D]same

[Verse 6]
Oh [G]mama, you were smil[C]ing when
you could've been crying all night
[G]Oh mama,
you [D]made me believe everything was alright
[G]Oh mama, [C]you never wore
your pain too [G]thick
I'd like to [D]thank you for [G]this
Oh, I'd like to [D]thank you for this
