Lyrics

Mama said there'll be (Am)days like this,

there'll be (F)days like this, Mama (C)said.

(F)(Mama said, (G7)Mama (C)said.)

Mama said there'll be (Am)days like this,

there'll be (F)days like this, my Mama (C)said.

(F)(Mama said, (G7)Mama (C)said.)

I went walking the (Am)other day,

(F)(G7)ev'rything was going (C)fine;

(G)I (C)met a little boy named (Am)Billy Joe,

and then I (F)almost (G7)lost my (C)mind.

(C)Mama said there'll be (Am)days like this,

there'll be (F)days like this, Mama (C)said.

(F)(Mama said, (G7)Mama (C)said.)

Mama said there'll be (Am)days like this,

there'll be (F)days like this, my Mama (C)said.

(F)(Mama said, (G7)Mama (C)said.)

I went walking the (Am)other day,

(F)(G7)ev'rything was going (C)fine;

(G)I (C)met a little boy named (Am)Billy Joe,

and then I (F)almost (G7)lost my (C)mind.

(C)said.

(F)My eyes are wide open,

(Em)but all that I can see (E7)is

(Am)chapel bells are (D7)callin'

for (G7sus)ev'ryone buta (G7)me.

But I don't worry, (C)'cause

Mama said there'll be (Am)days like this,

there'll be (F)days like this, Mama (C)said.

(F)(Mama said, (G7)Mama (C)said.)

Mama said there'll be (Am)days like this,

there'll be (F)days like this, my Mama (C)said.

(C7)And then she (F)said someone will look at

(Em)like I'm looking at you,

one (E7)day.

(Am)Then I might (D7)find

I (G7sus)don't want it any old (G7)way.

So I don't worry, (C)'cause

Mama said there'll be (Am)days like this,

there'll be (F)days like this, Mama (C)said.

(F)(Mama said, (G7)Mama (C)said.)
