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                                C
You were always there to catch me every time

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

[Bridge]
G
I guess heaven needed mama just like me
D
When I was 8 years old scraped my knee
Em                                   C
You were always there to catch me every time
N.C.
But heaven needs mamas too
