C    Em7                 Am7
Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
Fmaj9       F/G   C
What did he do it for
   Em7                       Am7
It never made it through our door
   Fmaj9           F/G   Am
He drank the whole week away
    Em                Fmaj7
And what can a family say
      D                Gmaj7
There must be a better way
    Cmaj7               Fmaj7
Now mama don't start to cry
      F/G              C
Let's give him another try
 
Em7             Am7
Pick up the telephone
Fmaj9        F/G      C
Tell him you want him home
   Em7                        Am7
To sit and watch the evenings pass
    Fmaj9       F/G       Am
And readin' the Leaves of Grass
 
    Em                  Fmaj7
I'm caught in a closing door
     D                 Gmaj7
It's pinning me to the floor
    Cmaj7               Fmaj7
Now mama don't start to cry
      F/G              C
Let's give him another try
 
Em7  Am7  Fmaj9  F/G  C  Em7  Am7  Fmaj9  F/G  Am
 
    Em                  Fmaj7
I'm caught in a closing door
     D                 Gmaj7
It's pinning me to the floor
    Cmaj7               Fmaj7
Now mama don't start to cry
      F/G              Bb/C
Let's give him another try
 
           F/C
When we're old and gray
        C                     G/C              Bb/C
And the things we say are the things we really mean
   F/C
So why cause a scene
            C
When things ain't what they seem
           Em7              Am
'Cause the end result's the same
    Em                Fmaj7
Now what can a family say
      D                Gmaj7
There must be a better way
    Cmaj7               Fmaj7
Now mama don't start to cry
      F/G              C
Let's give him another try
