Your Mama Don't Dance - Loggins and Messina Tab by:[email protected] This a great hand-clapping, juke-jivin type of song, played with a swing-type of shuffle beat. This is best played with two accoustics, so I've tabbed both guitar parts. This version is done in "A".

D You hop into the backseat, where you know it's nice and dark. D You're just about to groove and you think it's a breeze, D When there's a light in your eye and another guy says: Outta the car long - hair! E D A Louise, you're coming with me, and we'll call the police. [Chorus] A D A Your mama don't dance, your daddy don't rock and roll. ( play intro ) D A Your mama don't dance, your daddy don't rock and roll. ( play intro ) E D When evenin' comes around and it's time to go to town A way to go, you rock and roll. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | / Slide up ************************************
