Mamas Table

G                                          C
We pull a chair up every night and eat and talk and joke and fight

   D7                                      G
Us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table

                                                C
Just some hickory wood and screws it's where my daddy read the news

           D7                             G     C
You didn't put your dirty shoes on mama's table


           G                          C
It was the center of the best times I remember

    D7                                       G
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together

                                       C
Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle

     D7                                         G
It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table


                                                C
It's where my brother and I played games I just knew he'd gone insane

    D7                               G
The day he carved his name in mama's table

                                           C
And when we got down on our luck it seemed like it held us up

    D7                                   G
You could always feel the love in mama's table


                              C
It was the center of the best times I remember

    D7                                       G
Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together

                                       C
Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle

     D7                                         G     C
It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table


            G
It has some faded spots and cracks

      C
And a couple of burns from candle wax

          D7                               G
There’s a memory in each scratch on mama's table
