Intro
REm DO LAm
*Verse*
REm
Mama she has taught me well
DO LAm
Told me when I was young
REm
Son your life's an open book
DO LAm
Don't close it before it's done
REm
The brightest flame burns quickest
DO LAm
Thats what I heard her say
RE
The son's heart's owed to mother
DO LAm
But I must find my way....
Chorus
REm DO LAm SOL
Let my heart go
REm DO LAm SOL
Let your son grow
REm DO LAm SOL
Mama let my heart go
REm DO SIb SOL LAm
Mama let this heart be still.
*Intro again*
*Verse 2*
REm
Remember my new last name
DO LAm
Wild blood in my veins
REm
Draping the strings around my neck
DO LAm
The mark that still remains
REm
Left home at an early age
DO LAm
of what I heard was wrong (?)
REm
I never asked forgiveness
DO LAm
For what is said is done....
Chorus
REm DO LAm SOL
Let my heart go
REm DO LAm SOL
Let your son grow
REm DO LAm SOL
Mama let my heart go
REm DO SIb SOL LAm
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
REm SOL
Never I asked of you
DO FA
but never I gave
REm SOL
But you gave me your emptiness
DO FA
that I'll take to my grave
REm SOL

DO FA
but never I gave
REm SOL
But you gave me your emptiness
DO FA
that I'll take to my grave
REm DO SIb SOL LAm
So let this heart be still.
*Verse 3*
REm
Mama now I'm coming home
DO LAm
I'm not all you wished of me
REm
A mother's love for her son
DO LAm
was spoken heavily(?)
REm
yeah I took your love for granted
DO LAm
and all the things you said to me
REm
I need your arms to welcome me
DO LAm
That cold stone's all I see.....
Chorus
REm DO LAm SOL
Let my heart go
REm DO LAm SOL
Let your son grow
REm DO LAm SOL
Mama let my heart go
REm DO SIb SOL LAm
Mama let this heart be still.
REm DO LAm REm
Let my heart go
REm DO LAm REm
Mama let my heart go

Mama let this heart be still.
