(Shel Silverstein) Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show: DOCTOR HOOK Capo 2nd fret Intro Well I've sung my songs on dusty roads and dirty city sidewalks To them sweatin' hard eyed brakemen, in the rail yards I rolled through I've sung in blue wall papered rooms to girls I played at lovin' Now Mama...I'm gonna sing one song for you Chorus D A Mama let me tell you that I've never lost the mem'ry A E Of the tender things you told me, and the gentle things you'd do E D A And though I've grown away and other arms reach out to hold me E A Mama...I'll sing one song for you First Verse A You say you'd like to have me here to help you through the winter A E But you say it with a wistful smile like you already knew E A D A That your boy's no good at stayin' still that's words that need sayin' E A And Mama... I'll sing one song for you Second Verse A D A And tomorrow I'll be movin' out on them dusty country back roads A E Some sweatin' hard eyed brakeman may hear a tune or two E A D A And the girl in the blue wall papered room she'll ask where I been hidin' A E A And I'll tell 'em I stopped and sang one song for you Chorus D A Mama let me tell you that I've never lost the mem'ry A E Of the tender things you told me, and the gentle things you'd do E D A And though I've grown away and other arms reach out to hold me E A Mama...I'll sing one song for you (c) 1972 Evil Eye Music Inc.
