To know how to lFive a life worth Cliving
Picked the sFtory MamCie Ruth

FDon't wanna let go
CHORUS
Oh the wFay it rained the Amday they came for GMamieAm  G  
With a lFove so strong that it tAmook a hurricaneG  
                        FC*            C    Em  F  
To try to wash away the pain in Mamie's family
As if they cCoulGd, as if they woFuld
Feel the pain in losing FMamieC

And the fGamily branches gAmrewG  
And Mamie and GerFald's love was the lCight come shining thGrough
CHORUS
Oh the wFay it rained the Amday they came for GMamieAm  G

Feel the pain in losing MCamie
