Intro: (D) (Dmaj7) (D) (Dmaj7) x 2
Got a (D) call from a (Dmaj7) friend about a (G) friend (D)
With some (G) news no one (D/F#) ever wants to (Em7) hear (A)
It (D) hit me like a (Dmaj7) punch, it took my (G) breath (D)
He was (G) just getting (D/F#) into his (Em7) best years (A)
Yeah, (Bm) something like (A) that'll shake you (G) up (D/F#)
Wake you (Em7) up (A)
So I (D) stopped off at a (A) Texaco
Bought a (Bm7) Slim Jim and a (A) Coke
(G) Parked out by the (D/F#) water just to (Em7) watch that river fl(A)ow
Grabbed my (D) guitar from the (A) back seat
Wrote a (Bm7) song just for (A) me
And I (G) sung it for the (D/F#) blue sky
And a (Em7) couple live oak (A) trees
I thought of (Bm) home, grabbed my (A) phone from my (G) pocket (A)
And I called (D) mama (Dmaj7) (D) (Dmaj7)
It rang a couple times and she picked up
I can always hear her smile when I call
I just called to tell you that I loved you
I was missin' you and dad, and home, that's all
I got to really thinkin' this mornin'
'Bout what's important
Repeat Chorus
And (Em7) from now on
I ain't gonna (Asus) wait so (A) long (Asus) (A)
To (D) stop off at a (A) Texaco
Buy a (Bm7) Slim Jim and a (A) Coke
(G) Park out by the (D/F#) water just to (Em7) watch that river fl(A)ow
Grab my (D) guitar from the (A) back seat
Write a (Bm7) song just for (A) me
(G) Sing it for the (D/F#) blue sky
And a (Em7) couple live oak (A) trees
Think of (Bm) home, grab my (A) phone from my (G) pocket (A)
Instead of (Bm) sayin' to(A)morrow I'm (G) gonna
And I called (D) mama (Dmaj7) (D) (Dmaj7)
And I called (D) mama (Dmaj7) (D) (Dmaj7)
I called (D) mama (Dmaj7) (D) (Dmaj7)
