Sweet Mama written by Donnie Van Zant, Tom Hambridge, and Robert White Johnson NOTE: I'm not 100% sure this is correct, so any comments/corrections are welcome. CAPO I INTRO: G RIFF: C-G C-D7-G (2x) G I was raised on the west side shanty town I didn't get up until the sun went down C When your back's against the wall, you better get tough N.C. You learn real quick how to swing and duck CHORUS: C I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine G Good lookin' women backwoods and moonshine D Learned more about life on the streets than in the school N.C. My sweet mama didn't raise no fool, that's right RIFF G Some folks cheat and some folks lie But I can judge a man by the look in his eye C Don't hand by Jack and try to call it cola N.C. I can tell the difference between s**t and shinola CHORUS SOLO: C G C D G-C G-C G I'm talkin' 'bout mama G-C G-C D Oh sweet mama G Mama was no angel but she taught me right from wrong She knew every single word and every note of every song C She taught me how to gamble and how to roll the dice If it makes you feel good do it, don't think twice CHORUS (2x) RIFF (4x)
