[Intro 1]
[A][G][A][G][A][Em][G][Em][Bb][Bdim]
[F][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]She
came up from the country with [Dm]a smile for everyone
She [Em]left her blue horizon
just to [Dm]find another home
A [Em]lonely girl who travelled many [Dm]days
A [Em]lonely heart that could not find [Dm]the way

[Verse 2]
She [Em]said, "Mama,
it's a [Dm]hard life now you're [F]gone[Dm]
[Em]Mama, it's so hard[Dm] to carry on
And [Em]I feel I'm a foo[Dm]l who lost it all
You [Bdim]used to make it all so very cl[A]ear
[G]Life must go on though the end [Am]is near
[Em]Oh, Mama,
it's [Dm]a sad and lonely [C]life"

[Verse 3]
[Em]Misty mornin' rider,
she came [Dm]wan derin' through the hills
A [Em]wanderin' soul appearin'
over [Dm]rainy window sills
A [Em]loser in her heart, but in her [Dm]face
A [Em]smile for everyone under [Dm]God's grace
And [F]she said,

[Verse 4]
[Em]"Mama,
it's [Dm]a hard life now you're gone
[Em]Mama, it's so ha[Dm]rd to carry on
And [Em]I feel I'm a foo[Dm]l who lost it [F]all
You [Bdim]used to [G#dim]make it [Bdim]all so very clea[A]r
[G]Life must go on though the end [Am]is near
[Em]Mama, it's a sad a[Dm]nd lonely life"

[Interlude 1]
[C][A][G][A]
[G][A][Em][G][Em][Bb][Bdim][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Midnight maiden madness,
what [Dm]to search for in this place?
[Em]Gateway to the city,
night sky [Dm]shadows on her face
A [Em]lady lost in nowhere but her [Dm]stare
She [Em]leaves the world,
her life to start [Dm]somewhere
And [F]she said,

[Verse 6]
[Em]"Mama,
it's a [Dm]hard life now you're gone
[Em]Mama, it's so [Dm]hard to carry on
[Em]And I feel I'm a [Dm]fool who lost it all
You [Bdim]used to make it all so very cl[A]ear
[G]Life must go on though the end is near"
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Em]"Oh, Mama,
it's a [Dm]sad and lonely life
[Em]Mama, it's a sad[Dm] and lonely life
[Em]Mama, it's [Dm]a sad and lonely life
[Em]Mama, it's a [Dm]sad and lonely life
[Em]Mama, it's a [Dm]sad and lonely [F]life[Dm]
[Em]Mama, it's [Dm]a sad and lonely [F]life
[Em]Mama, it's a [Dm]sad and lonely life
[Em]Mama, it's [Dm]a sad and lonely [F]life
[Em]Mama, it's [Dm]a sad and lonely [F]life"
