Footloose - Mama Says

[Eb]Everything I [Ab]eve[Eb]r le[Eb]arned
That [Ab]gets me [C#]thr[Ab]ough the [Ab]worst
I [A#7sus]learned at my [Bb7]Mama's [Ab7]knee  [Eb]
Now, anytime I'm [Ab]tur[Eb]ned a[Eb]round
I [Gm7b5]turn to Mama [C7]first
And [Fm7]you'd be wise
To [Ebsus2]memoriz[G]e
What [Ab]Mam[Bb]a says to m[Bb7]e

[Eb7]Now, Mama ain't [Adim]been wrong yet. And I'm living [Abm]proof
[Eb/G]

Mama [D#7/A#]says
Don't use a toaster while [Adim]standing in the shower [Abm]
Now who an argue with that[Eb/G]?
Mama [D#7/A#]says
Don't hold your breath for [Adim]longer than an hour [Bb7]
The woman [Absus2]knows w[C]here it's at![A#m7b5]       [C#]            [Bb7]                [D]
And Mama says[Ab7]       [C#]          [Ab]                [Ab7]
it doesn't [Eb]matter[Ab]   [Eb]         [Eb]
If you're a kin[Ab7]g      [C#]         [Ab]
[Ab6]or y[Bb]ou're a [Eb]clown [Ab]    [Eb]          [Eb]                [Eb7]                    [G]
[Ab]Once [Adim7]you dr[Eb]ive[Bb] up [G7/B]a     [Cm]
mountain [F7]
You [Ab]can[Bb]'t back [Eb7]down

[Adim][Abm][Eb/G]

Mama [D#7/A#]says
Don't drink hot coffee [Adim]lying down in bed [Abm]
Don't even give it a though[Eb/G]t
Mama [D#7/A#]says
Never eat anything [Adim]bigger than your head [Bb7]
Is she a[Absus2] whiz o[C]r what[A#m7b5]?      [C#]           [Bb7]               [D]
And Mama says[Ab7]       [C#]          [Ab]                [Ab7]

[Ab]Once [Adim7]you dr[Eb]ive[Bb] up [G7/B]a     [Cm]
mountain [F7]

[Cm]Mama makes a lot of sense
If [G7]you know how to listen
She is [Ab]clear [Ab]and[Bb] concise [Ab]    [Eb]         [Eb]
[Cm]Daddy says, "I love her, son,
But [G7]she's got marbles missin'"
But [Ab]I say, "Hey! It's [Adim7]free advice [Bb]
And what d'you expect at that [Gm7]price?"

Mama [F]says
What you believe in is [Fdim]all you really own [Bbm]     [C#]
And I believe that she's [F]right
Mama [F]says
If you've got [A7#5]doubts, [A7/G]well, then, [Dm]boy, you'[A]re [Dm]not[A] alone [G7]
Just means you're ready to [C7]fight

[Bb]Once [Bdim6]you dr[F]ive[A7/C#] up a m[Dm]ountain[G7]
You [Bb]can[C]'t back [F]down

You can [Bb]turn up the heat
