Intro:
F   Am   Bb   Bb Am Gm (3x) 
                    cross this road... 

Verso 1: 
F                 Am 
When I was just a little boy 
Bb                          Bb Am Gm 
Well I would go out to play 
And I would wander so far from home 
That I would lose my way 
And I'd call on my momma to help me 
and she'd come right away 
To help me get back home where I wanna be 
And here's what I say 


[Refrão]

F             C 
Momma hold my hand 
Bb                  Bb    Am   Gm        F 
I don't think I can cross this road by myself 
Momma hold my hand 
I don't think I can cross this road by myself 

Verso 2:

F                Am 
And when I was a young man 
Bb              Bb Am Gm 
I would go astray 
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand 
Wanted to make my own way 
Dm                 Am        
And my momma would come out to help me 
Dm                 Am 
But I pushed her away 
Dm                     Am 
Cause I just wanted to be on my own 
Bb                Bb    C 
And here's what I say 


[Refrão]

F              C 
Momma leave my hand 
Bb                   Bb    Am   Gm        F 
I've been waiting to cross this road by myself 
Am         Bb          Bb Am Gm 
Cross this road by myself 


Verso 3:
F                   Am 
Well now that I'm a grown man 
    Bb           Bb Am Gm 
And I've moved away 
I got a house a 9to5 
And my wife got a kid on the way 
Momma told me that life's gonna gear of 
Take it day by day 
But every once in a while I get scared 
And I wish I could say 


[Refrão]


F             C 
Momma hold my hand 
Bb                  Bb    Am   Gm        F 
I don't think I can cross this road by myself 
Momma hold my hand 
I don't think I can cross this road by myself 


F               Am                     Bb 
Now my momma is near the end of her years 
                  Bb Am Gm 
And her hair is grey 
Sometimes I call her 
To ask her if she would like to spend the day 
Dm               Am 
Momma used to be strong but she aint now 
Dm                      Am 
And she can't make her way 
Dm                           Am 
That's why I'm always around when she needs help 
Bb                 Bb   C 
And here's what I say 


[Refrão]

F             C 
Momma hold my hand 
Bb                    Bb    Am   Gm          F 
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself 
Momma hold my hand 
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself 

(F Am Bb Bb Am Gm F) (2x)
