G D Em C [Verse] G I guess heaven needed mama just like me D When I was 8 years old scraped my knee Em C You were always there to catch me every time G I guess God figured out that your kids grew D Up so he gave you wings and you flew up Em C To take care of children that got taken too soon N.C. But heaven needs mama too [Chorus] G God carry me through D Em Just like you used too C Mama I miss you [Verse] G I can see you now dancing so free D Taking care of kids like you used to me Em C Gentle and kind in all your ways G I guess I'm being a little selfish D When I get down on my knees Em C And I wish I could hug and hold you one more time through N.C. But heaven needs mama too [Chorus] G God carry me through D Em Just like you used too C Mama I miss you [Verse] G Mama know were gonna be alright D Em Cause you raised us with love you raised us right Em And we'll grow our own wings and fly C And be right by your side... N.C. Cause I need my mama too [Chorus] G God carry me through D Em Just like you used too C Mama I miss you [Bridge] G I guess heaven needed mama just like me D When I was 8 years old scraped my knee Em C You were always there to catch me every time N.C. But heaven needs mamas too [Instrumental] G D Em C N.C. Heaven needs mamas too [Outro] G God carry me through D Em Just like you used too C And mama I love you C Mama I love you
