Mama Said

Metallica

Dm     C     Am

*Verse*

Dm

Mama she has taught me well

C                Am

Told me when I was young

Dm

Son your life's an open book

      C                    Am

Don't close it before it's done

Dm

The brightest flame burns quickest

      C               Am

Thats what I heard her say

D

The son's heart's owed to mother

    C             Am

But I must find my way....

*Chorus*

Dm  C  Am    G

Let my heart go

Dm  C    Am  G

Let your son grow

     Dm  C  Am    G

Mama let my heart go

     Dm   C   Bb    G  Am

Mama let this heart be still.

*Intro again*

*Verse 2*

Dm

Remember my new last name

C                Am

Wild blood in my veins

Dm

Draping the strings around my neck

    C              Am

The mark that still remains

Dm  

Left home at an early age

    C              Am

of what I heard was wrong (?)

Dm

I never asked forgiveness

    C             Am

For what is said is done....

*Chorus*

Dm  C  Am    G

Let my heart go

Dm  C    Am  G

Let your son grow

     Dm  C  Am    G

Mama let my heart go

     Dm   C   Bb    G  Am

Mama let this heart be still.

*Bridge*

Dm      G

Never I asked of you

C          F

but never I gave

Dm                  G

But you gave me your emptiness

C                 F

that I'll take to my grave

Dm      G

Never I asked of you

C          F

but never I gave

Dm              G

But you gave me your emptiness

           C         F

that I'll take to my grave

     Dm   C   Bb    G  Am

So let this heart be still.

*Verse 3*

Dm

Mama now I'm coming home

         C               Am

I'm not all you wished of me

Dm

A mother's love for her son

C            Am

was spoken heavily(?)

Dm

yeah I took your love for granted

           C                Am

and all the things you said to me

Dm

I need your arms to welcome me

     C                Am

That cold stone's all I see.....

*Chorus*

Dm  C  Am    G

Let my heart go

Dm  C    Am  G

Let your son grow

     Dm  C  Am    G

Mama let my heart go

     Dm   C   Bb    G  Am

Mama let this heart be still.

Dm  C   Am   Dm

Let my heart go

     Dm  C   Am   Dm

Mama let my heart go

          Dm  C   Am   Dm

You never let my heart go

     Dm   C   Bb    G  Am

Mama let this heart be still.

*Bridge*

(solo over Dm G C F twice)

Dm      G

Never I asked of you

C          F

but never I gave

Dm                  G

But you gave me your emptiness

C                 F

that I'll take to my grave

Dm      G

Never I asked of you

C          F

but never I gave

Dm              G

But you gave me your emptiness

           C         F

that I'll take to my grave

     Dm   C   Bb    G  Am

So let this heart be still.
