Thats What Mama's Do by Jason Matthews
Thats What Mama's Do
Capo:no capo
The Strumming Pattern is: D D D DUDU (d=down; u=up)
During verses, it may change slightly-listen to song to figure out
I found this by listening and watching covers and the song, it works pretty well
for the most part.
[Verse 1]
D
She'll change a dirty diaper
G
Wipe a runny nose
D
Get a two day old kool-aid stain
G
right out of your clothes
D
& she'll put her last spare dollar under your pillow
Em G
when you lose a tooth
D
She'll bust down your door
G
& drag you out of bed
D
make you sit right next to her in church
G
wearing your Sunday best
D
& when she bows her head to pray, you can bet
Em G
shes saying one for you
[Chorus]
C D
That's what mamas do
G D
they raise you, ground you
G D
build their whole world around you
G D
with no care for the hell they'll go through
C D
that's what mamas do
[Verse 2]
D
She'll keep up with all your girlfriends
G
scare off the ones she hates
D
She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare
G
every time you come home late
D
& when you leave to chase that dream, she's gonna cry when
Em G
she walks by your empty room
D
She'll call and sing you happy birthday
G
when everyone else forgets
D
On your wedding day she'll joke and say
G
where are my grandkids
D
oh & when she get em she'll spoil em rotten
Em G
the way her mama did with you
CHORUS
[Verse 3]
G
But she'll get old and fragile
D
& the end will come too soon
G
& she'll let go and you'll hold on
D G
the way all children do
D G
& you'll miss her, mourn her
D
leave pretty flowers for her
G Em
& you'll cry like the baby she knew
G D
& she'll hear you, guide you
G D
& pray the light finds you
G D Em
She'll never stop watching over you
G D Em
oh until you're up there too
C D
That's what mamas do
