[Chorus]
C                               Am
Mama can you tell me what it's like
   C                                      Am
To view the world from the windows of the sky
        G
Do you know what I'm thinking
         Fmaj7
Can you feel what's in my heart
    Dm            F                C
Oh Mama can you tell me what it's like

[Verse 1]
C                      Am
I remember when I was five years old
C                       Am
You let me get into my first talent show
         F           C
Well, I lost oh and that made me sad
      G                                            G7
You told me not to worry, said you gave it all you had
    C                         Am
Oh Mama did I ever make you proud
    C                          Am
Or am I still the wheat growing wild
     G
I'd like to think I'm wiser
      Am
But I need approval now
    Dm         F             C
Oh Mama did I ever make you proud

[Verse 2]
C                          Am
You know I have a son who just turned nine
C                                     Am
The best gift in the whole wide world I'm so glad he's mine
    F                                  C
He wants to be an actor when he says "Mom what you think of this?"
G                                     G7
I look down at him and smile and I give him a big old kiss
    C                           Am
Oh Mama can you tell me what to do
   C                                Am
I feel so lost in this world without you
    G
I'm still learning to be a mama
     Am
Oh yes this much is true
    Dm           F              C
Oh Mama can you tell me what to do

[Solo]
C Am C Am F C G

[Chorus]
C                               Am
Mama can you tell me what it's like
   C                                      Am
To view the world from the windows of the sky
        G
Do you know what I'm thinking
         Fmaj7
Can you feel what's in my heart
    Dm            F                C
Oh Mama can you tell me what it's like

[Outro]
    Dm            F                C
Oh Mama can you tell me what it's like
    Dm   F                   C
Oh Mama tell me what it's like
