Tell Your Mama

Intro: Bm        A E

     Bm                     E
If you've never heard a churchbell ring
Then go to the place where the choir sings
And if you've never heard the bible read
Then go to the place where god's word is said


Bm            E            Bm          E
And tell your mama you're following her ways
        Bm        E              Bm            E
And you're going to the place where the preacher prays
Bm     A    E          Bm         A   E
He prays for you like your mama begged him to

      Bm                  E
If you've never seen a man baptized
Then go to the place where true love lies
And if you've never seen a good deed done
Then look at the one they called god's son


Bm            E            Bm          E
And tell your mama you're following her ways
        Bm        E              Bm            E
And you're going to the place where the preacher prays
Bm     A    E          Bm         A   E
He prays for you like your mama begged him to

Bm                         F#m
They're trying to make me lose my mind
Bm                  F#m
Forget what my mama told me
Bm                     F#m
But i will go to that good old church
Bm            A             Bm
And the face of the lord i will see

[repeat chorus chords]
Please tell my mama i'm following her ways
And i'm going to the place where the preacher prays
Tell my mama i'm following her ways
And i'm going to the place where the preacher prays
And i'll be praying for you like the good lord told me to
