Only Mama Knows  Paul McCartney

Em/C Em/B Em/[Em]C Em/C# (repe[Em]at x5)
[Em]  
[Em]Well I was found in the [D]transit lounge of a [Em]dirty airport [D]town
[Em]What was I doing on the [D]road to ruin, where my m[Em]ama laid me [F#m]down?
[Em]My mama laid me [D]down
[Em]Round my hand was a [D]plastic band with a [Em]picture of my [D]face
[Em]I was crying, [D]left to die in this [Em]godforsaken [F#m]place
[Em]This godforsaken p[D]lac[A]e[E]
[B]Only mama [D#m]knows
Why she [C#m]laid me down in this [Em]godforsaken [B]town
She was running [D#m]too
What she [C#m]ran from who I always wondered
[Em7]I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows
[Bm] [Em] [Bm] [Em]  
[Bm] [Em] [Bm] [Em]  
[Em]I'm passing through, I'm on my wa[(Bm)]y
[Em]On the road, no ET[(Bm)]A
[Em]I'm passing through, no fixed abod[(Bm)]e
[Em]And that is why
I need to try
[Em]To hold on (to hold on)
Got to hold on
[Em]Was it planned as a [D]one-night stand, or did [Em]she leave in dis[D]grace?
[Em]Well I never, [D]will I ever [Em]see my father's [F#m]face?
[Em]See my father's f[D]ace[A] [E]
[B]Only mama [D#m]knows
Why she [C#m]laid me down in this [Em]godforsaken [B]town
She was running [D#m]too
What she [C#m]ran from who I always wondered
[Em7]I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows
[B]Only mama [D#m]knows
Why she [C#m]laid me down in this [Em]godforsaken [B]town
She was running [D#m]too
What she [C#m]ran from who I always wondered
[Em7]I never knew
Only mama knows
Only mama knows
[Bm] [Em] [Bm] [Em]  
[Bm] [Em] [Bm] [Em]  
[Em]I've got to hold on
Got to hold on
Gotta hold on
