[Verse]
A
When Jack was born
A
He winked at Mom
D
Her pretty face
A
Was the first he saw
Bm                                A
Was Jack wrong, cause he loved... Mom?


[Verse]
A
Things went bad
A
'fore they got worse
D
Momma would pinch Jack
A
Until it hurt
Bm                           A
Momma thought her boy was... cursed


[Chorus]
      A    D      E                A D A
You leave, leave, leave that boy to me
   A         D
Oh, Jack, I love him
    E                 A D A
You leave that boy to me


[Chorus]
      A    D      E                A D A
You leave, leave, leave that boy to me
  A         D
I know his condition
   E                   A D A
And soon he'll be set free


[Verse]
A
Off at school
A
Jack was cruel
D
He'd become
A
The bully's bull
Bm                         A
Was Jack wrong to mimic... Mom?

A
And after school
A
From the corner stool
D
Mom was kissin'
A
On the golden rule
Bm                           A
Jack had become a teacher's... fool


[Chorus]
      A    D      E                A D A
You leave, leave, leave that man to me
  A         D
Oh Mom I love you
   E                   A D A
And soon you will be free
          A    D            E        A D A
With my will, my hands, like old Solomon
            D           E                     A
And in your honor, I'm gonna cut that man in half


[Solo]

[Bridge]
A
All the lessons that Momma would teach
A
Books from Rome and ancient Greece
D
Men who pushed rocks from stony mountains
A
Turnin' one fish into five thousand
Bm
A king who went blind from a mother's love
A
Till a rage came over Jack
A
With Momma lyin' on her back
D
The one who taught him right from wrong
A
Who'd known better all along
Bm                                    A
She got rammed through when Jack killed his mom


[Chorus]
      A            D             E                  A D A
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave this world to me
   A      D
Oh Mom I love you
          E               A D A
I didn't mean to set you free


[Chorus]
         A       D             E    A D A
With my will, my hands, like old Solomon
   A      D
Oh Mom I love you
          E               A D A
I didn't mean to set you free
