Mama's Table ~ A Very Easy Three Chord Song

Mama's Table

Recorded by the Oak Ridge Boys



G                                          C

We pull a chair up every night and eat and talk and joke and fight

   D7                                      G

Us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table

                                                C

Just some hickory wood and screws it's where my daddy read the news

           D7                             G     C

You didn't put your dirty shoes on mama's table



           G                          C

It was the center of the best times I remember

    D7                                       G

Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together

                                       C

Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle

     D7                                         G

It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table



                                                C

It's where my brother and I played games I just knew he'd gone insane 

    D7                               G

The day he carved his name in mama's table

                                           C

And when we got down on our luck it seemed like it held us up

    D7                                   G

You could always feel the love in mama's table



                              C

It was the center of the best times I remember

    D7                                       G

Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together

                                       C

Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle

     D7                                         G     C

It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table



            G

It has some faded spots and cracks 

      C

And a couple of burns from candle wax

          D7                               G

There’s a memory in each scratch on mama's table
