xSweet Mama Blue
Intro: A F#m Bm E A
Bm E
I know a place in New Orleans.
A C#m7 F#m
They call the Castle of Kings and Queens.
Bm E
Where an old sweet black woman sings.
A C#m7 F#m
And plays piano like a dream.
Bm Bm7 E
She puts out all her beautiful heart and soul for you.
A
Sweet mamma blue.
Chorus:
D E
Sweet mamma blue will only sing about the truth.
A A7
And it will get to you.
D E
Sweet mamma blue will sing of love as only she can do.
A F#m Bm E A
Sweet mamma blue. Sweet Mamma Blue
One night I stayed past closing time.
"Sweet mamma blue my troubled mind."
She sang the night away for me.
She made me see what I couldn't see.
That only by loving life will all your dreams come true.
Sweet mamma blue.
Chorus
They say she's gone from misery.
But she still lives in my memory.
I still can see her smile and say
"I'll bet you make it all the way."
If you will try the Lord will surely see you through.
Sweet mamma blue,
E F#m
The world sure will miss you.
Bm Bm7 E
And when I feel blue I think of you.
A F#m Bm E A
Sweet mamma blue. Sweet mamma blue.
