[Verse 1]
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
Looking through your photos I imagine all of your dreams,
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
I will always wonder who you really were before me.
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
What did you lose? I hope, nothing too soon.
[Chorus]
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
Mama, who were you before your man,
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
know you had some of those bigger plans.

[Verse 2]
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
1989 on 85th and Lefferts Ave,
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
CVS lipstick, you would go to school and work at the bank.
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
Many men were chasing but you'd never have it that way,
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
what kind of tears did you cry on your wedding day?
[Chorus]
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
Mama, who were you before your man,
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
know you had some of those bigger plans.
[Outro 1]
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh.
Bm9 E Amaj7 Amaj7
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh.
