Capo 3rd Fret
Intro:
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a land-slide; no es-cape from re-ali-ty.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see.
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, because I'm;
Easy come, easy go, little high, little low.
Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me...
to me.

Verse 1:
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
now he's dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all a-way.
Mama, ooh-ooh, didn't mean to make you cry.
If I'm not back again, this time to-morrow;
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters.

Verse 2:
Too late; my time has come,
Sent shivers down my spine, body's achin' all the time.
Goodbye everybody; I've got to go.
Gotta leave you all be-hind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh-ooh, I don't want to die.
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
(Stop)
Mama, ooh-ooh, Say I don't want to die.
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
