Hungry Eyes Merle Haggard
Verse 1:
A ca[E]nvas covered cabin in a cro[A]wded labour
c[E]amp stand out in this memory I rev[B]ived;
Cause my da[E]ddy raised a family there, with
t[A]wo hard working h[E]ands
And tried to feed my m[B]ama's hungry e[E]yes.
Verse 2:
He dre[E]amed of something better, and my
m[A]ama's faith was st[E]rong and us kids were
just to young to re[B]alize That an[E]other class
of people put us some[A]where just be[E]low;
One more reason for my m[B]ama's hungry e[E]yes.
Chorus:
E(hold) E
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't cause my da[A]ddy didn't t[E]ry.
She only wanted th[A]ings she really ne[E]eded;
One more reason for my m[B]ama's hungry e[E]yes.
Verse 3:
I re[E]member daddy praying for a be[A]tter way
of li[E]fe but I don't recall a change of any
s[B]ize; Just a li[E]ttle loss of courage, as
their a[A]ge began to s[E]how and more sadness in
my m[B]ama's hungry e[E]yes.
Chorus:
E(hold) E
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't cause my da[A]ddy didn't t[E]ry.
She only wanted th[A]ings she really ne[E]eded;
One more reason for my m[B]ama's hungry e[E]yes.
E(hold) B(hold) E A E
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
