No     affection were the words that stuck on my mind
         A                        G          D
When she walked out on me for the very last time
D                            D7              G
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
        D                         A            D
I don't know what I've done to be treated this way
    A                             G            D
In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself
       A                       G              D
With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf
D                            D7               G
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
        D                           A           D
I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed

Then an angel appeared she was just 17
     B                     A            E
In a dirty old gown with a conscious so clean
E                            E7              A
Oh mamma sweet mamma can you tell me what to say
      E                            B          E
She's brought back the life that I once threw away
