Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
[Em]
Open your [G] eyes, look up to the skies [C] and see
[B] [Bb]
[Am] I'm just a poor boy, [D] I need no sympathy
[Ab] [G] Easy come, easy go, [A] little [Bbm] high, [G] little [C] low
[G] Any way the wind [D] blows doesn't really matter to me
[G] To me
Mama, [Em] just killed a man
[Am] Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, [D] now he's dead
[G] Mama, [Em] life had just begun
[Am] But now I've gone away
[C] Mama, [Em] [Am] ooh ooh
[Dm] Didn't mean to make you [G] cry
If I'm not back again this [C] time tomorrow
[G] Carry on, [Am] carry on
[Ab] As if nothing [C] really matters
[G]
Too late, [Em] my time has [Am] come
Send shivers down my spine, body [B] aching all the time
[G] Goodbye everybody, [Em] I've gotta go
[Am] Gotta leave you all behind and face the [C] truth
Mama, [Am] ooh ooh

Caraboos, caraboos, will you do the [Bm] Fandango?
[F] Thunderbolts and [E] lightning, very, very [Ebm] frightening
[Ab] Galileo, Galileo, [Eb] [Db] Galileo, Galileo Figaro
[Em] Magnifico!
[C] I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Where even's life [G] from his mom's [F] [Em]
[Dm] [C] progeny?
[Ab] [G] Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Let me know, no!
We will not let you [Cm] go, let him go!
Let me know, we [G] will not let you go, let [Cm] him go!

Will not let you go, let me go!
Will not let you go, [Eb] let me go!
oh oh oh [B] oh no no no [G] no no no no [C] no no
mama mia mama mia mama mia let [G] me go
be yelled [F] at [Bm] but had the devil put aside [G] for me
for me for me
[C]
so [D]
[G] you think you can stone [C] me and [G] spit in my eye
[Bb] so [D] [G] you think you can love me [C] and leave me [F] to die
[Eb] [Dm]
