Blame It On Mama

All in D

[D]When I was 6 or 7
Mama tucked me [A]in
With a l[D]ullaby and it
Made my eyes open wide [A]again
I would l[G]ie awake and wonder
Why a b[D]oy named Billy J[G]oe
Jumped o[D]ff the Tallahatchee Bridge
To the r[A]iver far below

[G]Blame it on mama
And the so[D]ngs she loved to sing
I'm n[G]ot from Louisiana but t[D]hat don't mean a thing
Don't com[G]e from Alabama o[D]r a hill from Tennessee
Just blam[C]e it on mama, she sang (she sang)
The country[D] into me

[D]I just loved to listen
As she'd sing those story son[A]gs
'Bout a c[D]oat of many colors
Or a girl named Delta D[A]awn
When the [G]lights went out in Georgia
I would b[D]eg for just one m[G]ore
[D]All about Fancy and the pretty red satin
[A]Dancing dress she wore

(Chorus)

[G]I'm a coal miner's da[D]ughter
[G]Lovin my preacher's s[D]on
I have wa[G]lked the streets of Lar[D]edo
Stared down the b[A]arrel of a law man's gun

[G]I've grown roots and I'v[D]e got claims
[G]To places I've never b[D]een
[G]And when I sing those so[D]ngs it takes me
[A]Right back home again

[D]

(Chorus)

The [D]country into me, yeah
