C 
She was just sixteen and all alone 
F        Dm 
Whem i came to be 
G 
So we grew up together 
F         C 
My momma child and me 

Now things were bad 

And she was scared 
F             Dm 
But whenever i would cry 
G 
She'd calm my fears and dry my tears 
        F           C 
With that rock'n'roll lullaby 

And she'd sing 

Sha la la la la la la la la 
       Dm 
It will be all right 
F              G 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
              C 
Let's just hold on tight 

Sing it to me mama 

My my my my mama 
               Dm 
(sing it sweet and clear) 
       F 
Sing it sweet and clear 
   G 
Oh, momma let me hear 
       F      G      C 
That old rock'n'roll lullaby 

C 
We´ve made it through 

The lonely days 
F                 Dm 
But lord the nigths were long 
    G 
And we dreamed of better mornings 
F     G    C 
When momma sing her song 

Now i can't recall the words at all 
F                 Dm 
And it don't make sense to try 
     G 
'Cause i just knew lots of love came through 
   F          G      C 
That old rock'n'roll lullaby 

And she'd sing 
C 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
        Dm 
It will be alright 
F                G 
Sha la la la la la la la la 
         C 
Let's just hold on tight 

I can hear you mama, mama, mama, mama 

Mama, mama, mama 
               Dm 
(sing it sweet and clear) 
    F 
Nothing loose my soul
