Truckstop Honeymoon - Mama Cried


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


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


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


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