Mama Hold My Hand

[F]    [Am]     [Bb]     [Bb]   [Am]   [Gm]cross this road...

[F]When I was just a [Am]little boy
[Bb]Well I would go out to play [Bb]    [Am]       [Gm]
And I would wander so far from home
That I would lose my way
And I'd call on my momma to help me
and she'd come right away
To help me get back home where I wanna be
And here's what I say

[F]Momma hold my [C]hand
[Bb]I don't think I can [Bb]cross [Am]this [Gm]road by my[F]self
Momma hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself

[F]And when I was a [Am]young man
[Bb]I would go astra[Bb]y  [Am]     [Gm]
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand
Wanted to make my own way
[Dm]And my momma would [Am]come out to help me
[Dm]But I pushed her aw[Am]ay
[Dm]Cause I just wanted to [Am]be on my own
[Bb]And here's what I [Bb]say   [C]

[F]Momma leave my [C]hand
[Bb]I've been waiting to [Bb]cross [Am]this [Gm]road by my[F]self
[Am]Cross this [Bb]road by myse[Bb]lf [Am]    [Gm]

[F]Well now that I'm a [Am]grown man
And [Bb]I've moved aw[Bb]ay [Am]    [Gm]
I got a house a 9to5
And my wife got a kid on the way
Momma told me that life's gonna gear of
Take it day by day
But every once in a while I get scared
And I wish I could say

[F]Momma hold my [C]hand
[Bb]I don't think I can [Bb]cross [Am]this [Gm]road by my[F]self
Momma hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself

[F]Now my momma is [Am]near the end of her yea[Bb]rs
And her hair is gr[Bb]ey [Am]    [Gm]
Sometimes I call her
To ask her if she would like to spend the day
[Dm]Momma used to be [Am]strong but she aint now
[Dm]And she can't make her w[Am]ay
[Dm]That's why I'm always around [Am]when she needs help
[Bb]And here's what I s[Bb]ay   [C]

[F]Momma hold my [C]hand
[Bb]I don't think you can [Bb]cross [Am]this [Gm]road by your[F]self
Momma hold my hand
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself

[F] [Am] [Bb] [Bb] [Am] [Gm] [F]
