Scissor Sisters – Take Your Mama   (Album: Scissor Sisters (2004))

!!! Capo: 1st fret !!!     [ 154 bpm ]       KEY: A♭ Major

[ A    | G    | Bm    | A   ]        (X2)

When you grow up   Livin’ like a good boy oughta
And your mama   Takes a shine to her best son
 Something different   All the girls they seem to like you
Cause you’re handsome   Like to talk and a whole lot of fun
                     Bm              A                              G                        E         A
But now your girl’s gone a missin’       And your house has got an empty bed
The folks’ll wonder ’bout the wedding  They won’t listen to a word you said

[ A    | G    | D    | A (G)   ]       
Gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we’ll show her what it’s all about
We’ll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We’ll let the good times all roll out

And if the music ain’t good, well it’s just too bad
We’re gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don’t mind at the New Orleans
If you tip ’em and they make a cut

Do it, Take your mama out all night
So she’ll have no doubt that we’re doing oh the best we can
We’re gonna do it, Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late ’cause baby you’re a full grown man

It’s a struggle   Livin’ like a good boy oughta
In the summer   Watchin’ all the girls pass by
When your mama   Heard the way that you’d been talking
I tried to tell you   That all she’d wanna do is cry
         Bm                            A                            G                                   E             A
Now we end up takin’ the long way home, Lookin’ overdressed wearin’ buckets of stale  cologne
It’s so hard to see streets on a country road, When your glasses in the garbage
        And your Continental’s just got towed

[chorus]
