[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][F#m][Em][G][Bm][A][G]

[Verse 1]
Mama [D]always got up early
[G]And she never went to bed 'til [D]late
Yet, I [Em]never heard her complain[A]in'
About her [G]family of [A]eight
There were [Bm]times she should
have been [F#m]sleep in'
But, [G]late in [D]the midnight hour
She'd get [Em]down on her knees
And you could [D]hear her say,
"Lord [G]fill them will your
power"
[Asus4][Gm]

[Verse 2]
[Bm][chorus]
Mama like to burn [F#m]the midnight oil
[G]Down on [Asus4]her knees in pray[D]er[A]
If you [Bm]asked why she [G]did it
She said she [Em]did it care she cared
[A]Now Mama [D]always talked to [F#m]Jesus
When she [G]knelt by her rocking [D]chair
Oh, I'm [Em]glad my mama was will[D]in'
To [G]burn [Asus4]the midnight oil in pray

You will [Cm]find me all [Bb]alone[Bbsus4]
[Bdim]That's when I start to[Cm] call upon Jesus[Gm]
For His [Ab]wis dom and His [Eb]power
Cause it [Fm]seems that He loves
