Mama, she has taught me well, told me when I was young. 
Dm                  Dsus4 Dm         C                    Am 
Son, your life's an open book, don't close it before it's done. 
Dm                        Dsus4 Dm         C                Am 
The brightest flame burns quickest, that's what I heard her say. 
Dm                        Dsus4 Dm    C              Am 
The son's heart's owed to mother, but I must find my way.

Dm  C  Am     G   Dm  C    Am   G 
Let my heart go. Let your son grow. 
      Dm  C  Am     G       Dm  C    Bb    G  Am 
Mama, let my heart go. Oh, let this heart be still.

Dm              Dsus4 Dm    C                Am 
"Rebel", my new last  name, wild blood in my veins. 
Dm             Dsus4    Dm        C                 Am 
Apron strings around my neck, the mark that still remains. 
Dm              Dsus4  Dm     C                Am 
Left home at an early  age of what I heard was wrong. 
  Dm             Dsus4 Dm     C               Am 
I never asked forgiveness for what is said is done.

Dm  C  Am     G   Dm  C    Am   G 
Let my heart go. Let your son grow. 
      Dm  C  Am     G       Dm  C    Bb    G  Am 
Mama, let my heart go. Oh, let this heart be still.

Dm      G              C       F 
Never I ask of you but never I gave. 
        Dm           G                   C          F 
But you gave me your emptiness that I’ll take to my grave. 
Dm      G              C       F 
Never I ask of you but never I gave 
        Dm           G               C          F 
But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave. 
   Dm  C    Bb    G  Am 
So let this heart be still.

Dm            Dsus4 Dm             C                 Am 
Mama, now I'm coming home, I'm not all you wished of me. 
  Dm                Dsus4 Dm  C              Am 
A mother's love for her son unspoken help me be. 
        Dm                 Dsus4 Dm            C                  Am 
Yeah, I took your love for granted and all the things you said to me. 
  Dm                Dsus4 Dm         C                  Am 
I need your arms to welcome me, that cold stone's all I see.

Dm  C  Am     G   Dm  C    Am   G 
Let my heart go. Let your son grow. 
      Dm  C  Am     G       Dm  C    Bb    G  Am
