Capo 4 (or you can capo 2 and play in key of D)
Use alternating bass to get the best effect.
When I was a [C]child, mamad hold me
In her [F]lovin arms when the storm clouds come a[C]long
Dark clouds [C]rising, storms a ragin
She would sin[G]g an old gospel [C]song
With the thunder [C]crashing and lightning, flashing
I found [F]comfort in the words that she would [C]sing
Beyond these [C]dark skies theres a rainbow
That only love[G] and the sunll [C]bring
When she sang Amazing Grace
I felt tears in my eyes
When she sang Circle Be Unbroken
Lord, I knew theres bluer skies
Time rolled on, the circle was broken
Mama went on to somewhere beyond the blue
I started ramblin that lost highway
And hard livin took away the little child she knew
Yeah, I started drinkin and I started gamblin
I had no one to look over me
There was no blue skies, only sorrow
I could only hear her sing in my memory
I was runnin with a wild bunch
Hanging with the rough and the rowdy kind
I was livin fast, and I was dying young
So alone, Lord I had a worried mind
I was drunk and I was hurtin
Somewhere on the streets in New Orleans
When I stumbled into a little shelter
I saw an angel with a tambourine
