Dm
Mama, she has taught me well   
C                  Am   
Told me when I was young   
Dm
Son, your life´s an open book   
      C                Am   
Don´t close ´fore it´s done
Dm
The brightest flame burns quickest
       C                Am   
That´s what I heard her say   

Dm
A son´s heart sowed to mother   
    C              Am   
But I must find my way   
Dm  C  Am    G   
Let my heart go   
Dm  C    Am  G   
Let your son grow   
      Dm  C  Am    G   
Mama, let my heart go   
   Dm  C    Bb    G  Am   
Or Let this heart be still   
Yeah, still   
Dm
Rebel, my new last name   
     C           Am   
Wild blood in my veins   
Dm
Apron strings around my neck   
    C                Am   
The mark that still remains 
Left home at an early age   
   C                Am   
Of what I heard was wrong  
I never asked forgiveness   
    C              Am   
But what I said is done   
Dm  C  Am    G   
Let my heart go   
Dm  C    Am  G   
Let your son grow   
      Dm  C  Am    G   
Mama, let my heart go   
Dm  C    Am    G  Em   
Let this heart be still   
Dm       G     
Never I ask of you   
     C       F   
But never I gave   
        Dm            G   
But you gave me your emptiness   
          C           F   
And I´ll take to my grave   
   
Dm       G   
Never I ask of you   
     C       F   
But never I gave   
        Dm            G   
But you gave me your emptiness   
           C          F   
That I´ll take to my grave   
   Dm  C    Bb    G  Am     
So let this heart be still  
Mama, now I´m coming home   
        C                Am   
I´m not all you wished of me   

A mother´s love for her son   
 C              Am   
Spoken, help me be   
I took your love for granted   
      C                Am   
Not a thing you said to me   
I need your arms to welcome me   
      C                  Am   
But a cold stone´s all I see   
Dm  C   Am   G   
Let my heart go   
Dm  C    Am  G   
Let your son grow   
      Dm  C  Am    G   
Mama, let my heart go   
   Dm  C    Bb    G  Am   
Or Let this heart be still   
Dm  C  Am    G   
Let my heart go   
      Dm  C  Am    G   
Mama, let my heart go   
          Dm  C  Am    G   
You never let my heart go   
   Dm  C    Bb    G  Am   
So let this heart be still    
Dm C Am Em  x2     
Dm       G   
Never I ask of you   
    C        F   
But never I gave
