Chord/Tab song: Mama Cried

Truckstop Honeymoon - Mama Cried
Album: Delivery Boy, Track 7
Tabbed by: Danny Halstead

[F]Mama cried when Frank Sinatra d[C]ied
She wept for days, when old blue eyes passed a[Dm]way
was like a death in the fa[F]mily, she only had one [D]LP
and she played it constantl[G]y, and it drove us all in[F]sane
when Mama sang alo[C]ng to all them tin pan alley so[G]ngs
and she'd get the words all wr[Dm]ong
and it didn't really ma[F]tter, it made it sorta sa[D]dder
it's such a sh[G]ame.

[F]How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra di[C]ed
As good a reason as any ot[G]her
It's as if they had been lo[Dm]vers
A long long time a[F]go, but as far as I k[D]now
She never caught a sh[G]ow
But all the s[F]ame, her tears they were r[C]eal
and her grief was sin[G]cere
and it came from a deep p[Dm]lace
Beyond re[F]ason, beyond ly[D]in' with our n[G]ame

[F]Yeah Mama cried like I never s[C]aw
"Mama cried bef[G]ore," "That's not exactly t[Dm]rue ..
She cried a lot for y[F]ou and Richard Burton t[D]oo".
It was all she could d[G]o
To ease the pa[F]in, she smoked cigarettes in b[C]ed
Drank Kahlua as she re[G]ad, everything the papers s[Dm]aid
she believed every wo[F]rd, now it seems sort of abs[D]urd
How Mama cr[G]ied when Frank Sinatra di[F]ed

[F]And her tears they were re[C]al
and her grief was sin[G]cere
and it came from a deep p[Dm]lace
Beyond re[F]ason, beyond ly[D]in' with our n[G]ame
[F]Yeah Mama cried when Frank Sinatra di[C]ed
