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

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


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

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


Chorus:

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

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


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

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


Chorus:

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

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

Bridge:

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

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

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


Chorus:

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

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