[Verse]

             Am

A year ago today

               C/G                     G

I was stood beside you outside the courtroom

                           Am

And when they called your name

                     C/G                    G

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

                     Am

For you've already served

                 C/G                        G

All that you deserved, for many lifetimes over

                           Am

And when they called your name

                     C/G                    G

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller





[Instrumental]

Banjo and drums come in here for 2 bars I believe



Am  C/G  G  x2





[Verse]

G                      Am

    And money always flowed

                     C/G                         G

From the pockets of clothes to the hands of another

                     Am

And copper, silver, gold

                   C/G                          G

A greater love was sold, down the Craig Matty River

                     Am

He promised you the world

                C/G                   G

You let your unfold right down his shoulders

                     Am

He promised you the world

                   C/G                    G

And that same old world is just getting smaller





[Chorus]

   Am  C/G                     G

Oh Maaaama, I told you all the time

                              Am   C/G                   G

Please be careful with your loooove, I told you all the time



   Am  C/G                     G

Oh Maaaama, I told you all the time

                             Am  C/G                   G

Please be careful who you loooove, I told you all the time

I was stood beside you outside the courtroom

                           Am

And when they called your name

                     C/G                  G

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller

                      Am

And I watched as your pride

                   C/G                  G

From your nose and eyes, came out a flowing

                           Am

And when they called your name

                     C/G                  G

You thought I'd be ashamed but I stood taller





[Chorus]

   Am  C/G                     G

Oh Maaaama, I told you all the time

Please be careful with your loooove, I told you all the time

   Am  C/G                     G

Oh Maaaama, I told you all the time
