Hungry Eyes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
A [D]canvas-covered cabin
in a [G]crowded labour [D]camp
Stand out in this memory I re[A]vived
'Cause my [D]daddy raised a family there,
with [G]two hard-working [D]hands
And tried to feed my [A]mama's hungry [D]eyes

[Verse 2]
He [D]dreamed of something better,
and my [G]mama's faith was [D]strong
And us kids were just too young to real[A]ize
That an[D]other class of people
put us [G]somewhere just be[D]low
One more reason for my [A]mama's hungry [D]eyes

[Chorus 1]
Mama [D]never had the [G]luxuries she [D]wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my [G]daddy didn't [D]try
She only wanted [G]things she really [D]needed
One more reason for my [A]mama's hungry [D]eyes

[Verse 3]
I re[D]member daddy praying
for a [G]better way of [D]life
But I don't recall a change of any [A]size
Just a [D]little loss of courage,
as their [G]age began to [D]show
And more sadness in my [A]mama's hungry [D]eyes

[Chorus 2]
Mama [D]never had the [G]luxuries she [D]wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my [G]daddy didn't [D]try
She only wanted [G]things she really [D]needed
One more reason for my [A]mama's hungry [D]eyes
Oh, I still recall my [A]mama's hungry [D]eyes
