NOTES: The stumming pattern goes like this: stum down the 1st 
couple of stings with thumb(e,a,d), then stum up with index finger 
1st couple strings from the bottom(e,b,g). At the begining of the 
song, Jude picks the 1st 2 measures of the G chord. I fake it by 
semi-picking the high e, low e, a, b, d, g in that order. But 
don't try to be percise. I think that the overtones are 
what make this song.

	(G) When I was young and pushed around
	And (C)beaten up and beaten down
	(G)Who'd I run to mama tell me (D)who
	
	(G)And as I grew to be a man
	(C)And all the world held such Èlan
	(G)I did what I thought (D)I just had to (G)do
	
	Chorus:
	(C)It was you mama you, it was (G)you all along
	It was you I ran away from I was (D)wrong
	And (G)if I could I'd change my life
	I (C)swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife
	And with a (G)glue stick I'd (D)reapply it in a (G)song
	
	(ALL OTHER VERSES SAME AS ABOVE)
	And laid back Kerouac never no a heart attack
	Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to
	The moloch is an old man the moloch is a love-lack
	Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend Jack
	And mama sometimes I remember you
	
	Chorus
	
	(F)Man (C)loves (G)woman
	(F)Mother (C)loves (G)child
	(F)Sometimes I (C)call my lady (G)mama
	So (F)I can feel at (C)home for a (G)while
	So (F)I can feel at (C)home for a (G)while
	
	Looking around at all the Mellencamp towns
	The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds 
	I found places and traces of a storybook world
	And I went out there for a ride
	On the misty coast but the holy host 
	Is under Mickey D's American flag and it's unfurled
	
	Chorus
	
	(SAME AS ABOVE BRIDGE)
	Man loves woman sometimes
	Mother loves child
	Sometimes I call my lady mama
	So I can feel at home for a while
	So I can feel at home for a while
