 Dm             D4/A     Dm
Mama, she has taught me well
 C                  Am
Told me when I was young
  Dm                  D4/A  Dm
"Son, your life´s an open book
      C                 Am
Don´t close ´fore it´s done"
   Dm                          
"The brightest flame burns 
D4/A  Dm
quickest"
         C               Am
That´s what I heard her say
Dm                      D4/A  Dm
A son´s heart sowed to mother
    C               Am
But I must find my way

 Dm  C  Am    G
Let my heart go
 Dm  C    Am   G
Let your son grow
       Dm  C  Am    G
Mama, let my heart go
    Dm   C   Bb    G   Am
Or Let this heart be still

Yeah, still

 Dm                 D4/A  Dm
Rebel, my new last name
       C          Am
Wild blood in my veins
  Dm                      D4/A  Dm
They bring strings around my neck
     C                 Am
The mark that still remains
 Dm              D4/A Dm
Left home at an early age
     C                Am
Of what I heard was wrong
Dm                     D4/A Dm
I never asked forgiveness
      C             Am
But what I said is done

 Dm  C  Am    G
Let my heart go
 Dm  C    Am   G
Let your son grow
       Dm  C  Am    G
Mama, let my heart go
 Dm   C   Bb    G   Am
Let this heart be still

 Dm     G
Never I ask of you
     C       F
But never I gave
         Dm              G
But you gave me your emptiness
          C           F
And I´ll take to my grave

 Dm     G
Never I ask of you
     C       F
But never I gave
         Dm              G
But you gave me your emptiness
           C           F
That I´ll take to my grave
    Dm   C   Bb    G   Am
So let this heart be still

 Dm                    D4/A Dm
Mama, now I´m coming home
        C                  Am
I´m not all you wished of me
Dm                  D4/A Dm
A mother´s love for her son
  C              Am
Spoken, help me be
Dm                     D4/A Dm
I took your love for granted
        C                Am
Not a thing you said to me
Dm                       D4/A Dm
I need your arms to welcome me
       C                  Am
But a cold stone´s all I see


              G
Let my heart go
 Dm  C    Am   G
Let your son grow
       Dm  C  Am    G
Mama, let my heart go
    Dm   C   Bb    G   Am
Or Let this heart be still


 Dm  C  Am    Dm
Let my heart go
       Dm  C  Am    Dm
Mama, let my heart go
           Dm  C  Am    Dm
You never let my heart go
    Dm   C   Bb    G   Am
So let this heart be still     
uohhh, ohhhh
