ARTIST: Tom Snow & Dean Pitchford

From the musical, Footloose


D#           G#/D#  D#   
Everything I ever learned
     G#      C#/G#       G#  
That gets me through the worst
  A#7sus        A#7    G#7   D# 
I learned at my Mama's knee
                 G#/D#   D#   
Now, anytime I'm turned around
  Gm7b5        C7  
I turn to Mama first
    Fm7  
And you'd be wise
   D#sus2/G  
To memorize
     G#/A#         A#7  
What Mama says to me


D#7             Adim                           G#m
Now, Mama ain't been wrong yet. And I'm living proof
D#/G

     D#7/A#
Mama says
                          Adim                   G#m
Don't use a toaster while standing in the shower
                          D#/G
Now who an argue with that?
     D#7/A#
Mama says
                           Adim                A#7  
Don't hold your breath for longer than an hour
          G#sus2/C            A#m7b5/C#   A#7/D  
The woman knows where it's at!
             G#7    C#/G#    G#7  
And Mama says 
           D#    G#/D#    D#  
it doesn't matter
               G#7    C#/G#    
If you're a king 
G#6/A#      D#    G#/D#    D#    D#7/G   
or you're a clown
G#   Adim7 D#/A#  G7/B  Cm  
Once you drive up a 
         F7  
mountain
    G#/A#      D#7
You can't back down

Adim
G#m
D#/G

     D#7/A#
Mama says
                       Adim              G#m
Don't drink hot coffee lying down in bed
                           D#/G
Don't even give it a thought
     D#7/A#
Mama says
                   Adim                  A#7  
Never eat anything bigger than your head
        G#sus2/C     A#m7b5/C#   A#7/D  
Is she a whiz or what?
             G#7    C#/G#    G#7  
And Mama says 
           D#    G#/D#    D#  
it doesn't matter
               G#7    C#/G#    
If you're a king 
G#6/A#      D#    G#/D#    D#    D#7/G   
or you're a clown
G#   Adim7 D#/A#  G7/B  Cm  
Once you drive up a 
         F7  
mountain
    G#/A#      D#   G7  
You can't back down


Cm
Mama makes a lot of sense
   G7
If you know how to listen
       G#    G#/A#       G#/D#   D#  
She is clear and concise
Cm
Daddy says, "I love her, son,
    G7
But she's got marbles missin'"
    G#                Adim7       A#
But I say, "Hey! It's free advice
                              Gm7
And what d'you expect at that price?"
