Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][F][G][C][F][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Dads are good
[G]for teaching how to [Dm]pitch and throw [G]a curveball
And [C]backing jumbo [G]trailers
down [F]the drive[G]
[C]Build a treehouse in [G]a backyard with
[Dm]a Black & Decker [F]skill [G]saw
[C]Fly that front porch [G]home
team flag up high
[F]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Yeah, [Dm]there's some things
that they can do [F]just right
But I'm [Dm]sitting here,
missing mama tonight
[G]

[Verse 3]
[F]She's got a marked- up
[G]King James heart of [C]gold
Got too [F]much on [G]her plate but
never lets it [C]show
And she put her [Am]blood, sweat,
and tears into [G]raising me
And [F]maybe [C]a little [Dm]more
Thank the [F]Lord,
that's [G]what mamas are for
[C][G][F]

[Verse 4]
[C]
[G]Sne[C]aking out and rai[G]sing
too [C]much [F]hell [G]at [C]17
When I got back home she was
[G]waiting on [F]the porch[G]
Wasn't [C]pissed off, didn't [G]cuss me,
she [F]just held out her [G]hand
And said, [Dm]"Give me back
the keys to my [F]Accord"
And don't [Dm]disappoint your mom
like this no more
[G]

[Verse 5]
[F]She's got a marked- up
[G]King James heart of [C]gold
Got [F]too much on her [G]plate but
never lets it [C]show
And she put her [Am]blood, sweat,
and tears into [G]raising me
And [F]maybe [C]a little [Dm]more
Thank the [F]Lord, that's what [G]mamas [C]are for

[Interlude 1]

[C]

[Verse 6]
Yeah, she was a girl [Dm]scout,
she was a [C]prom queen
She rode [F]shotgun in cut- off [C]blue jeans
She went to col[Dm]lege 'til
she [C]dropped out
Settled [F]down in a not- got- a- [G]lot town
Well, I brought her [Am]rain,
she got good at [G]praying
Bought me [F]this old pawn shop [C]guitar
That I'm [Dm]playing on, yeah,
[F]thank [G]you, mom

[Verse 7]
[F]You got a marked- up [G]King
James heart of [C]gold
Got too [F]much on your [G]plate
but never let it [C]show
And you put your [Am]blood, sweat,
and tears into [G]raising me
And [F]maybe [C]a little [Dm]more
Thank the Lord,
[F]that's what mam[G]as are for[C]
Oh, thank You, [F]Lord,
that's what [G]mamas are for
