Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
                                              Dm
She wept for days, when old blue eyes passed away
                          F                      D
was like a death in the family, she only had one LP
                           G                        F
and she played it constantly, and it drove us all insane
                  C                              G
when Mama sang along to all them tin pan alley songs
                              Dm
and she'd get the words all wrong
                       F                        D
and it didn't really matter, it made it sorta sadder
              G
it's such a shame.

How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
                          G
As good a reason as any other
                           Dm
It's as if they had been lovers
                  F                    D
A long long time ago, but as far as I know
                     G
She never caught a show
             F                         C
But all the same, her tears they were real
                     G
and her grief was sincere
                         Dm
and it came from a deep place
         F              D             G
Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name


F                             C
Yeah Mama cried like I never saw
               G                          Dm
"Mama cried before," "That's not exactly true ..
                     F                      D
She cried a lot for you and Richard Burton too".
                      G
It was all she could do
              F                             C
To ease the pain, she smoked cigarettes in bed
                      G                          Dm
Drank Kahlua as she read, everything the papers said
                     F                           D
she believed every word, now it seems sort of absurd
           G                        F
How Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died


F                         C
And her tears they were real
                     G
and her grief was sincere
                         Dm
and it came from a deep place
         F              D             G
Beyond reason, beyond lyin' with our name
F                                    C
Yeah Mama cried when Frank Sinatra died
