DIMESTORE LIFE (Mary Karlzen)
[C] Oh[C]hh I kn[D]ow it's hard to l[D]et go
[G6] But these mist[G6]akes I gotta m[Dsus9]ake, I [Dsus9]gotta make on my [Em]own [Em] [[C]see[C] tab #1]

Ohhh, what a wonderful ride
[C] When [C]all the h[Bm]appiness in the [Bm]world
[G] Is r[D/F#]ight here on th[Em]e ins[Em]ide
G D/F# Em Em [pause]
Right here on the inside
[DOUBLE TIME:]

[C][in[Em]stru[D]men[G]tal][C][Em][D][G]
She was s[C]ixte[Em]en, n[D]ever knew m[G]ore
Than the [C]backporch [Em]swing and the [D]counter at the [G]dime store
[C] [Em] What [D]do you kno[G]w
[C][in[Em]stru[D]men[G]tal]
She had dr[C]eams[Em], dreams [D]of many th[G]ings
A [C]life on the r[Em]oad and a[D]ll that br[G]ings
[C]Ohhh[Em]h, there's g[D]ot to b[G]e more
[C] [Em] Than this co[D]unter at the [G]dime store

[G] Mam[D/F#]a, won't you pl[Em]ease let m[C]e go
G D/F# Em C D D D [stop.]
Mama, won't you please let me go
Wave goodbye at the end of spring
Drop down a graduation gown and a high school ring
Echo on the gym floor
[instrumental]
A life made from cards and sticks
The kind of broke that money can't fix
Ohhhh, this road'll take me somewhere
And I'll know it when I get there
[instrumental]
Ohhhh, what does this life have in store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go

Em Em C C Em Em D [hold]
[guitar solo]
Day to day, and town to town
Mama writes, "I can never track her down"
She's gonna find what she's looking for
[instrumental]
Thirty-one when she finally makes it home
With the wisdom of the world, a woman fully grown
Oh I never needed more
Than this counter at the dime store
Than this counter at the dime store
[instrumental]
Ohhhh, what does this life have in store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, let me go...

TAB:
[Both of these are probably a little off, mostly because they're played on
an electric guitar and I only have an acoustic. I know the notes are right,
but I might be playing them on the wrong strings, as usual.]
