1. Why did you have to die when I was only at the age of five ?
Em Am
So suddenly you were gone,
D G
and I
was left with answers hard to find.
Am D
Now I think of you ’cause I’m
in hunger for your warmth
G - Em
that no one can
replace,
Am D
and I
know that where I go you’re always by my side,
G B7
I just want to let you know, woah, woah !
Em Am
Mama, oh, I miss you sometimes,
D G B7
Mama, can you hear me when I cry ?
Em Am
Mama, oh, I miss you sometimes,
D G B7 Em
Mama, can you hear me when I cry for you?
Am
- D G B7
2. Your spirit never dies, and all your words I treasure in my
heart,
Em Am
you left me with a smile,
D
G B7
but
my cheeks aren’t always dry from all the tears.
Am D
So I think of you ’cause I’m
in hunger for your warmth
G - Em
that
no one can replace,
Am
D
and I know that where I go, you’re always
by my side,
G B7
I just want to let you know, woah, woah !
Em Am
Mama, oh, I miss you sometimes,
D G B7
Mama, can you hear me when I cry ?
Em Am
Mama, oh, I miss you sometimes,
D G B7 Am
Mama, can you hear me when I cry for you?
