Thats What Mamas Do Chords – Jason Matthews

                          That's What Mamas Do

The Strumming Pattern is: D D D DUDU (d=down; u=up)
During verses, it may change slightly-listen to song to figure out

I found this by listening and watching covers and the song, it works pretty well 
for the most part.

[Verse 1]
 D 
She'll change a dirty diaper
 G 
Wipe a runny nose
 D 
Get a two day old kool-aid stain
 G 
right out of your clothes
 D 
& she'll put her last spare dollar under your pillow
 Em G 
when you lose a tooth
 D 
She'll bust down your door
 G 
& drag you out of bed
 D 
make you sit right next to her in church 
 G 
wearing your Sunday best
 D 
& when she bows her head to pray, you can bet
 Em G 
shes saying one for you

[Chorus]
             C D 
That's what mamas do
 G D 
they raise you, ground you
 G D 
build their whole world around you
 G D 
with no care for the hell they'll go through
              C D 
that's what mamas do

[Verse 2]
 D 
She'll keep up with all your girlfriends
 G 
scare off the ones she hates
 D 
She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare
 G 
every time you come home late
 D 
& when you leave to chase that dream, she's gonna cry when
 Em G 
she walks by your empty room
 D 
She'll call and sing you happy birthday
 G 
when everyone else forgets
 D 
On your wedding day she'll joke and say
 G 
where are my grandkids
 D 
oh & when she get em she'll spoil em rotten
      Em G 
the way her mama did with you

CHORUS

[Verse 3]
 G 
But she'll get old and fragile
 D 
& the end will come too soon
 G 
& she'll let go and you'll hold on 
 D G 
the way all children do
 D G 
& you'll miss her, mourn her
 D 
leave pretty flowers for her
           G Em 
& you'll cry like the baby she knew
            G D 
& she'll hear you, guide you
     G D 
& pray the light finds you
         G D Em 
She'll never stop watching over you
      G D Em 
oh until you're up there too
                C D 
That's what mamas do
