Tell Mama (Savoy Brown)

INTRO:  A — D — A — E —
        A —

           A
I quit my job, ain't got no money
 A/G             A/F#      A/F  A
Seems I have to leave this town
           A
Packed my bag, run to the station
 A/G
Board the train
       A/F#      A/F  A
That's eastward bound

     D
Tell Mama
                        A
And all the folks back home
             E
Sometimes a man just feels
                      A
He's got to make it alone
     D
Tell Mama
                    A
Why I'm leavin' so soon
              E
Because this life I live

Has got me sick through
      A
And through

           A                 
Nothing to do

That's why I had to go
 A/G            A/F#      A/F  A
Seems no use in hangin' 'round
              A           
I can't stop now

The ticket's in my hand
 A/G
Board the train
       A/F#      A/F  A
That's eastward bound

     D
Tell Mama
                        A
And all the folks back home
             E
Sometimes a man just feels
                      A
He's got to make it alone
     D
Tell Mama
                    A
Why I'm leavin' so soon
              E
Because this life I live

Has got me sick through
      A
And through
