Momma Told Me Imma Be Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mama told me I'ma be a star one day
Woke up in the morning and kissed my face
[Am]"Time to go, you're too special
To [G]lay around my house and take up space
You're [C]gonna do something
for the [Cm]human race
You [Em]didn't get my eyes
but you got my face
[Am]Now go find some d[D]ream to chase"

[Verse 2]
[G]Mama told me I'ma be a star one day
Went to all the games that I didn't play
[Am]Said, "Stay strong, it won't take long
You [G]started off slow, but you'll get there quick
[C]Zip that coat so you [Cm]don't get sick
Be[Em]lieve in yourself, boy, that's the trick
You're [Am]building this thing up [D]brick by brick"

[Chorus 1]
[C]She would pick me up
from [Bm]practice[Em]
[Am]And she'd take[D] me home from scho[G]ol
[C]She made me believe in mag[Bm]ic[Em]
She knew [Am]Santa Claus
and [D]the Tooth Fairy, [G]too

[Verse 3]
[G]Mama told me I'ma be a star one day
Cried a little bit when I went away
[Am]I grew up, and all that stuff
She [G]told me I need to pick up my phone
"If it [C]doesn't work out,
you can [Cm]come back home"
[Em]Knew I couldn't go 'cause I'm too grown
[Am]Gotta figure this out a[D]lone

[Chorus 2]
[C]But she helped me move
to my a[Bm]partment[Em]
[Am]In the center of[D] downtown LA[G]
[C]Hugged me and said,
"You're just getting [Bm]started[Em]
[Am]I know that my sta[D]r will find a wa[G]y"
