D A
the other on the shore G D A Now he’s been flying solo G Everybody’s seen everything, D A nothing undiscovered anymore [Pre-Chorus] G He got as far
D
as Little Rock A Before his ship
Bm
it sank and then he G Drove another
D
couple thirty miles A Bm On an empty tank G D Maybe for some folks A Oh it’s just the way
Bm
it goes but he said G A Not me mama,
D
I’m coming home. He said [Chorus] G D A I don’t want memories to take
Bm
the place of you G D A If I forget the way I felt
Bm
then maybe she will too G D A So he, oh he called her on a payphone Saying mother may

he was someone G He started out a little step forward D A with a compass in his pack G D And it wasn’t long before he
A
wrote a postcard saying G D A Mother may I take a little step back [Pre-Chorus] G D He got as far as Little Rock A Bm Before he hit eject and as he G Pulled the cord on
D
his parachute thought A Bm Well what did I expect G D Maybe for some folks A it’s just the way
Bm
it goes but he said G A Not me mama,
D
I’m coming home. He said [Chorus] G D I don’t want memories
A Bm
to take the place of you G D

I felt then maybe she will too G So he,
D A
oh he called her on a payphone G D I don’t want memories to
A Bm
take the place of you G D A And if I forget the way I felt
Bm
then maybe you will too G D A And so he called her on a payphone D Singing mother may I come home D D/G Mother may I, mother may I D/G D/F# A Mother may I, oh oh oh D D/G Mother may I, mother may I D/G D/F# A Mother may I, oh oh oh D D/G D/F# A D D/G D/F# A Mother May I
