Mama Said
Metallica
Tuned down one half-step
Intro: Dm C Am (2 times)
Dm C Am
Mama, she has taught me well. Told me when I was young,
Dm C Am
"Son, your life's an open book, don't close it 'fore it's done."
Dm C Am
"The brightest flame burns quickest", is what I heard her say
Dm C Am
A son's heart's owed to mother, but I must find my way
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Or let this heart be still, yeah still
| Dm | C Am | (2 times)
Dm C Am
Rebel, my new last name, wild blood in my veins
Dm C Am
Apron strings around my neck, the mark that still remains
Dm C Am
Left home at an early age of what I heard was wrong
Dm C Am
I never asked forgiveness, but what is said is done
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Or let this heart be still
Dm G C F
Never I ask of you but never I gave
Dm G C F
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Dm G C F
Never I ask of you but never I gave
Dm G C F
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still
Dm C Am
Mama, now I'm coming home, I'm not all you wished of me
Dm C Am
But a mother's love for her son, unspoken, help me be
Dm C Am
Yeah, I took your love for granted and all the things you said to me
Dm C Am
I need your arms to welcome me, but a cold stone's all I see
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Or let this heart be still
Dm C Am Dm
Let my heart go
Dm C Am Dm
Mama, let my heart go
Dm C Am Dm
You never let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still
| Dm G | C F | (2 times)
Dm G C F
Never I ask of you but never I gave
Dm G C F
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Dm G C F
Never I ask of you but never I gave
Dm G C F
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still
