Tabbed by: Simon Hwang (this is my first chart!)
STRUMMING NOTE: strum pattern the "x" is indicating a thumb stroke on the bass note of the chord (e.g. for D,
the thumb would strike the open D string on the macro-beat). The "down" strums are a forceful extension of the
fingernails. This is termed the "pluck-and-chuck" method which is explained well by Jon Michael Swift (s/o to
my first Youtube teacher).

[Intro]
Dm Dm Dm Dm
Uh...Comeon...Feel me...Yes...
[Verse 1]
Dm
Shame on us, all your sons and your daughters
Dm
Thieve all your gold and we poison all your waters
Dm
Every piece of our soul is for sale now they bought us
Dm
Think we know it all then look at where it got us
[Chorus]
F
Oh, mama, mama
G
Oh, mama, mama
Dm Dm
You're crying to the wind uh huh...
[Verse 2]
Dm
Trying to play God, even fucking with genetics
Dm
All that you have given and we only disrespected
Dm
The rate that we’re going premature Armageddon
Dm
That's what's gonna happen if we let it
[Chorus]
F
Oh, mama, mama
G
Oh, mama, mama

G
Even for the sake of love
F
How you gonna kill your mama
G Dm Dm
When only mama is gonna love you to the grave
[Verse]
Dm
Killing our selves, falling down with the sickness
Dm
Money is the king, it's a dirty bloody business

There will be no trial, but the child will always witness

If we're in love with hell, why the hell would heaven visit
[Chorus]

Oh, mama, mama
G
Oh, mama, mama
Dm Dm
You're crying to the wind
[Verse]
Dm
When mama gets the belt you gon' wish you didn't do it
Dm
Had your chance for redemption, but you fucking blew it
Dm
Now the weather's changin' and the hurricane is moving
Dm
Right in your direction, what direction are you choosing
[Chorus]
F
Oh, mama, mama
G
Oh, mama, mama
Dm Dm
Forgive us for your pain
[Bridge]
