**CAPO 3rd FRET**
Intro:
G C Bm D
C G Em Bm C
GSome time as a much Colder man
I will sBmit down and put on this song.D  
It jCust might make me Gcry,
Or at the Emvery least a tear Bmin my eye.C  
I Gcan't take all these yCears of my life
To be Bmwiddle down into a thoughtD  
That Conly appears to the earG  
I need memEmories perfectlBmy clear.C  
GMama       CmamBmaD  
CMama      GmamEma.Bm  C  
I just want to be making my mind,
Keep from changing my mind not to change.
Cause I'm greedy as the sea,
And that's how it always will be.
I'll be somebody now, and I'll be somebody then,
And I'll be all of you all in between.
And then I'll be ready to leave
When the whole world is taken with me.
Mama, mama
Mama, mama.
Mama, mama
Mama, mama.
Cause there's so Ammany days in a yeDar.
And there's so Ammany years in my heDad.
So I thCink about when I'll be deadG,
And how those very lasCt moments get speGnt.
And if I thiCnk about you is that something you think you'd aDccept?
--Piano Break-- (Same pattern, soloing in g?)
Some time as a much older man
I will sit down and put on this song.
It just might make me cry,
Or at the very least a tear in my eye.
