Mama Said Chords by Lukas Graham

[Start]

[Chorus]
               F7   G7 F7 Dm             F
When Mama said that ■  ■  ■  it was okay ■
Dm F                                  
■  Mama said that it was quite alright
                         Gm               
Our kind of people had a bed for the night


[Verse]
               
And it was okay
                              
Mama told us we were good kids
                                          
And Daddy told us Never listen to the ones
               Bb                    
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
          Bb            
'cause we were good kids
                     Bb            
Remember asking both my mom and dad
             Gm                      
Why we never traveled to exotic lands
   Gm                            
We only ever really visit friends
                         Bb         
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
                     Gm            
We never really went buying clothes
Bb                                             
Folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
                 Gm           
New shoes once a year and then
                       Bb             
Out to play ball so we could ruin them


[Chorus]
                       Eb      
When Mama said that it was okay
Bb                    Dm           
Mama said that it was quite alright
Gm                       Dm               
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
Gm         F   
And it was okay
                     Eb       
Mama told us we were good kids
Bb                      Dm            Gm  
And Daddy told us Never listen to the ones
         Dm                          
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Gm                  F   
'cause we were good kids
                     Gm                
Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad


[Verse]
                         Bb            
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
                       Gm               
But I don't think they really understood
                                      Bb       
When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood
                    Gm           
I told them I'll be singing on TV
Eb                               Bb     
The other kids were calling me a wannabe
                            Bb        
The older kids they started bugging me
                                      Bb         
But now they're all standing right in front of me
                       Eb      
When Mama said that it was okay


[Chorus]
Bb                    Dm           
Mama said that it was quite alright
Gm                       Dm               
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
Gm         F   
And it was okay
                Eb            
Mama told us we were good kids
Bb                      Dm            Gm  
And Daddy told us Never listen to the ones
               Dm                    
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Gm                  F   
'cause we were good kids


[Bridge]
Gm              C7        Eb  
■  I know which place I'm from
          Bb  
I know my home
Gm       C7                     
When I'm in doubt and struggling
Eb             Bb
That's where I go
       Gm7        Gm   Gm7   
An old friend can give advice
         Eb                       Bb   
When new friends only know a half story
             Gm                   
That's why I always keep 'em tight
C           Eb  
And why I'm okay
           Dm  
I said I'm okay
    Dm                    
You know what my mama said
Dm                       
You know what she told me
D7                Eb         
My Mama said that it was okay


[Chorus]
Bb                       Dm           
■  Mama said that it was quite alright
Gm                     Dm                 
Our kind of people had a bed for the night
Gm         F   
And it was okay
                     Eb       
Mama told us we were good kids
Bb                Dm                  Gm  
And Daddy told us Never listen to the ones
         Dm                          
Pointing nasty fingers and making fun
Gm                      
'cause we were good kids
F Eb Bb Dm Gm Dm Gm F
■ ■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■
                      Eb

Babada babada baba
              Bb  
Babada babada baba
Dm                
Babada babada baba
