Glen Campbell/Steve Wariner

Intro  D  A  D  AD

D                             D7        G
He got here red and wrinkled scared and cryin'
         D                               A      G A
Then she took him up and held him to her breast
       D                A        D     G
And he sure was glad to get what mama offered
        D             A                    D    A D
Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest

   D              A       D      G
It didn't seem to matter what he needed
         D                       A      G A A7
He could always count on mama to supply
    D                  A         D        G
And regardless of the sleep she might be losin'
    D             A              D
He always found a twinkle in her eye

G                   A                D    D7
There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
G               A                   D      D7
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
G                  A         D    G
And heaven help us always to remember
         Em                  A                D
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

D                      A    Bm       G
She taught him all the attributes of greatness
          D                               A    A7 A
That she knew he couldn't learn away from home
           D                 A      D      G
And by the time she wore the cover off her bible
    D                 A                  D
Her hair was gray and her little man was gone

G                    A               D
There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
G                A         A7       D      D7
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
G                  A          D   G
And heaven help us always to remember
         Em                  A                D
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
D7       G                   A                D    A D
Yes, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
