Tuning: Standard

NOTES: Great song by a great, unheralded band. This tab is for the acoustic version
of the song as found on the "They Think It's All Over..." album. However, aside from
the electric parts, the acoustic voicings match up fairly close to those on the studio
version. I've kept the tab to a fairly simple diagramming of just the chord progressions,
leaving it up to the listener to discern the strumming/picking patterns on the
recordings -- they're pretty easy to figure out. Here we go...

SECTION A

Am7 Am6 Am(#5) Am

E |--0--------0-----------|--0--------------0---|
B |--1--------1-----------|--1--------------1---|
G |--0--------2-----------|--2--------------2---|
D |--2--------4-----------|--3--------------2---|
A |--0--------0-----------|--0--------------2---|
E |-----------------------|---------------------|

Mama -- tell your children not to go

down to the city where the desperate people go.

Repeat changes above for these lyrics:

Am7 Am6 Am(#5) Am
And Mama -- don't you let them stray;

Am7 Am6 Am(#5) Am
They won't find peace of mind in such a lonely place.

SECTION B

low life in high places.

Then repeat from SECTION A with these lyrics:

Am7 Am6 Am(#5) Am
Mama -- things have changed since you were young;

Am7 Am6 Am(#5) Am
When they scream in the dead of night now no one ever comes.

Am7 Am6 Am(#5) Am
And the poor man, he's cast as the beggar and the thief;

Am7 Am6 Am(#5) Am
You see him down on the street begging for enough to eat.

Then to SECTION B:

Waiting on the corner I saw her waiting for the man;
