Mamas Table

G C We pull a chair up every night and eat and talk and joke and fight D7 G Us kids learned wrong from right at mama's table C Just some hickory wood and screws it's where my daddy read the news D7 G C You didn't put your dirty shoes on mama's table - G C It was the center of the best times I remember D7 G Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together C Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle D7 G It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table - C It's where my brother and I played games I just knew he'd gone insane D7 G The day he carved his name in mama's table C And when we got down on our luck it seemed like it held us up D7 G You could always feel the love in mama's table - C It was the center of the best times I remember D7 G Sometimes the only thing that brought us all together C Grandma passed it down when I was in a cradle D7 G C It's in my kitchen now but it's still my mama's table - G It has some faded spots and cracks C And a couple of burns from candle wax D7 G There's a memory in each scratch on mama's table
