Heaven Needs Mamas Too

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                                
You were always there to catch me 
C
every time

G
I guess God figured out that your 
kids grew
D
Up so he gave you wings and you flew
 up
Em                                
To take care of children that got 
      C
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                                
And I wish I could hug and hold 
              C
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                                 
Cause you raised us with love you 
          Em
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
