[Verse]
  B                         E                    
I remember the day I called mama on the telephone
           F#   F#7             B                             
I told her mama ■   I'm getting married I could hear her voice
                         E                        
On the other side of the telephone she was smiling
        F#                       F#7       B       
And she asked me a question that I proudly answered
E   B                B7   E               
She said Son did you take time to know her
       F#   F#7   B                           B7   
I said mama she's the best but today it hurts me so
      E                         F#                     
To go back to mama and say mama ■  I'm getting divorced
B                      
Oh I'm getting divorced


[Chorus]
F#      E        F#                  
■  This choice I made didn't work out
E                    F#   
The way I thought it would
     E             B                    
This choice I made ■ It hurts me so mama
F#      E        F#              E                        F#                E          B

                     E                                        
I remember in church when the preacher man read the scriptures
F#                                       B          
You looked so beautiful so beautiful and so innocent
                    E                 
I did not know that behind that beauty
              F#                                      B      E
Lies the true colors that will destroy me in the near future ■


[Chorus]
F#      E        F#          E              F#                  
■  This choice I made didn't work out to be what i thought it be
E  B   
Oh mama
F#             E        F#                    E                F#        E

[Inst]
B E F# F#7 B

[Verse]
  B                       
I remember when I held you
       E                                    
By the hand preacher man read the scriptures
F#      F#7                 B
Putting words in your mouth ■


[Chorus]
                            E   
Maybe what the preacher man said
                                  F# 
Was not something that was within you
      F#7                           B  
Now I know what they mean when they say
                           E               
Beautiful woman is another man's play thing
            E          
Oh Lord I'm hurting now
     F#                           
This choice I made didn't work out
    B                      F#      E                
The way I thought it would ■  this choice of mine oh
             F#
Mama said to me
              E                   
It's not easy to understand it son
      F#               E            B           E
But I hope you'll make it you'll be happy again ■
