Mama Said by Lukas Graham
Mama Said
Tuning: E A D G B E
In the verses you can do an Eb as a transition
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Mama said that it was okay
Dm7 Gm
Mama said that it was quite alright
Dm7 Gm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
F
and it was okay
Eb Bb
Mama said that we were good kids
Dm7 Gm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
Dm7 Gm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
F
'cause we were good kids
[Verse]
Gm
Remember asking both my mom and dad
(Eb) Bb
Why we never travel to exotic lands
Gm
We only ever really visit friends
(Eb) Bb
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
Gm
We never really went buying clothes
(Eb) Bb
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
Gm
New shoes once a year and then
(Eb) Bb
Out to play ball so we could ruin them
[Chorus]

Gm
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad
(Eb) Bb
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
Gm
But I don't think they really understood
(Eb) Bb
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood
Gm
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv
(Eb) Bb
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe
Gm
The older kids they started bugging me
(Eb) Bb
But now they're all standing right in front of me
[Chorus]

Gm C
I know which place im from
Eb Bb
I know my home
Gm C
When Im in doubt and struggling
Eb Bb

Gm C
An old friend can give advice
Eb Bb
when new friends only know the half story
Gm C
That's why I always keep 'em tight
Eb
And while you're okay
D
I said I'm okay
(You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?)
