 Truckstop Honeymoon - Mama Cried
 
 F                              C  
 Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
                                               Dm 
 She wept for days, when old blue eyes passed away
                           F                      D 
 was like a death in the family, she only had one LP
                            G                        F   
 and she played it constantly, and it drove us all insane
                   C                              G  
 when Mama sang along to all them tin pan alley songs
                               Dm 
 and she'd get the words all wrong
                        F                        D   
 and it didn't really matter, it made it sorta sadder
               G   
 it's such a shame.
 
 F                                   C 
 How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
                           G  
 As good a reason as any other
                            Dm  
 It's as if they had been lovers
                   F                    D  
 A long long time ago, but as far as I know
                      G 
 She never caught a show
              F                         C  
 But all the same, her tears they were real
                      G   
 and her grief was sincere
                          Dm  
 and it came from a deep place
          F              D             G  
 Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name
 
 F                             C 
 Yeah Mama cried like I never saw
                G                          Dm    
 "Mama cried before," "That's not exactly true ..
                      F                      D   
 She cried a lot for you and Richard Burton too".
                       G 
 It was all she could do
               F                             C 
 To ease the pain, she smoked cigarettes in bed
                       G                          Dm 
 Drank Kahlua as she read, everything the papers said
                      F                           D  
 she believed every word, now it seems sort of absurd
            G                        F 
 How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
 
 F                         C 
 And her tears they were real
                      G   
 and her grief was sincere
                          Dm  
 and it came from a deep place
          F              D             G  
 Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name
 F                                    C
