| | Mama p | lease don't go |

| Won't you | stay for | one more day |
| I've been your boy for so long now |
| There's so much I, I still have to say |
| The sky ripped open and I held my heart in my hand |
| Like a soldier on his very last day |
| Cried myself to sleep that night |
| And I listened as I heard the angels sing, Sha la la |
| | E | B | D | A |
| | Sha la | la la, sha la | la la, I'm goin | home |
| Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home |
| Something inside of me makes me scream |
| How could God take you from a little boy? |
| He'll be all right he's by my side |
| He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy, Sha la la la |
| Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home |
| Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home |
| Solo: (Same chords as half a verse) |
| When the phone rang, and it was Jeannette }- Without guitars |
| Saying, "Boy, we got to let her go" } |
| I beg, "No, no not yet" } |
| You left six of us to fend for ourselves |
| Guess it's just part of someone's master plan |
| We'll see you left cause your my best friend |
| You were lighter then and I smiled when the angels sang sha la la la |
| Chords: E-022100 G#m-466444 F#m-244222 B-x24442 D-x00232 |
| NB: Although I think the chord formations shown above are those used on the |
| recording, if you are playing this by yourself you can make the chorus |
| sound really big by using B-799800 D-x50770. :-) |
