Chorus:
Eb Eb Bb Bb
Mama said that it was okay
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
Mama said that it was quite alright
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
F F
and it was okay

Eb Eb Bb Bb
Mama said that we were good kids
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
F F
'cause we were good kids


Gm Gm
Remember asking both my mom and dad
Eb Eb Bb Bb
Why we never travel to exotic lands
Gm Gm
We only ever really visit friends
Eb Eb Bb Bb
Nothing to tell when the summer ends

Gm Gm
We never really went buying clothes
Eb Eb Bb Bb
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
Gm Gm
New shoes once a year and then
Eb Eb Bb Bb
Out to play ball so we could go in them


Chorus:

Eb Eb Bb Bb
When mama said that it was okay
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
Mama said that it was quite alright
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
F F
and it was okay

Eb Eb Bb Bb
Mama told us we were good kids
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
F F
'cause we were good kids


Gm Gm
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad
Eb Eb Bb Bb
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
Gm Gm
But I don't think they really understood
Eb Eb Bb Bb
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood

Gm Gm
I told 'em I'd be singing on TV
Eb Eb Bb Bb
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe
Gm Gm
The older kids they started bugging me
Eb Eb Bb Bb
But now they're all standing right in front of me


Chorus:

Eb Eb Bb Bb
When mama said that it was okay
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
Mama said that it was quite alright
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
F F
and it was okay

Eb Eb Bb Bb
Mama told us we were good kids
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
F F
'cause we were good kids

Bridge:

Gm Gm Dm Dm
I know which place I'm from
Eb Eb Bb Bb
I know my home
Gm Gm C C
When I'm in doubt and struggling
Eb Eb Bb Bb
that's where I'll go

Gm Gm C C
An old friend can give advice
Eb Eb Bb Bb
when new friends only know the half story
Gm Gm Am Am
That's why I always keep 'em tight
Eb Eb
And while you're okay
F F
I said I'm okay

You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?


Chorus:

Eb Eb Bb Bb
When mama said that it was okay
