Metallica - Mama Said (full) Akor

Dm Dm (sus)

Mama, she has taught me well

C Am

Told me when I was young

Dm Dm (sus)

Son, your life's an open book

C Am

Don't close it 'fore it's done

Dm Dm (sus)

The brightest flame burns quickest

C Am

That's what I heard her say

Dm Dm (sus)

A son's heart's owed to mother

C Am

But I must find my way

Dm Am C G

Let my heart go

Dm Am C G

Let your son grow

Dm C Am G

Mama, let my heart go

Dm C F Am

Or, let this heart be still

Dm Dm (sus)

"Rebel," my new last name

C Am

Wild blood in my veins

Dm Dm (sus)

Apron strings around my neck

C Am

The mark that still remains

Dm Dm (sus)

I left home at an early age

C Am

Of what I heard was wrong

Dm Dm (sus)

I never asked forgiveness

C Am

But what is said is done

Dm Am C G

Let my heart go

Dm Am C G

Let your son grow

Dm C Am G

Mama, let my heart go

Dm C F Am

Or, let this heart be still

Dm G

Never I ask of you

C F

But never I gave

Dm G

But you gave me your emptiness

C F

I now take to my grave

Dm G

Never I ask of you

C F

But never I gave

Dm G

But you gave me your emptiness

C F

I now take to my grave

Dm Am Bb Am

So let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home

I'm not all you wished of me

A mother's love for her son

Unspoken, help me be

I took your love for granted

And all the things you said to me

I need your arms to welcome me

But a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama, let my heart go

Or let this heart be still

Let my heart go

Mama, let my heart go

You never let my heart go

So let this heart be still

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still
