INTRO: [ (Lam7) (Lam7) (Lam) (Sol) (Mim)]x2

Mama, she has taught me well
(Sol) (Mim)
Told me when I was young
(Lam) (Lam7) (Lam)
Son, your life\'s an open book
(Sol) (Mim)
don\'t close it \'fore it\'s done
(Lam) (Lam7) (Lam)
the brightest flame burns quickest
(Sol) (Mim)
is what I heard her say
(Lam) (Lam7) (Lam)
A son\'s heart\'s owned to mother
(Sol) (Mim)
but I must find my way
(Lam) (Sol) (Mim) (Re)
let my heart go
(Lam) (Sol) (Mim) (Re)
let your son grow
(Lam) (Sol) (Mim) (Re)
mama let my heart go
(Lam) (Sol) (Fa) (Re) (Mi)
oh let this heart be still
[(Lam) (Lam7) (Lam) (Sol) (Mim)]
yeah still
remember my new last name
wild blood in my veins
draping the strings around my neck
the mark that still remains
left home at and early age
of what I heard is wrong I never asked forgiveness
for what is said is done
Let my heart go...
Never I ask of you
but never I gave
but she gave me your emptiness
that I\'ll take to my grave
Never I ask of you...
So let this heart be still
mama now I\'m coming home
I\'m not all you wished of me
but a mother\'s love for her son
was spoken, 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...
(Lam) (Sol) (Mim) (Lam)
Let my heart go
(Lam) (Sol) (Mim) (Lam)
mama let my heart go
(Lam) (Sol) (Mim) (Lam)
you never let my heart go
(Lam) (Sol) (Fa) (Re) (Mi)
so let MY heart be still
[(Lam) (Re) (Sol) (Do)]x2
Never I ask of you...
never I ask of you...
(Lam) (Sol) (Fa) (Re) (Mi)
So let this heart be still
