_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ She was just 16 and all alone _ _ when I came to [Am] be
So [D] we grew up together, _
[C] _ my mama, child and [G] me _
Now things were bad and she was scared but [C] whenever I would [Am] cry _
She'd [D] calm my fears and dry my [C] tears with a rock and roll [G] lullaby
And she'd sing, _ _ _ _ [E] shananananananana, [Am] it'll be alright _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Shananananananana, just for one time
[G] _ _ _
Sing it to me mama, _ my mama, _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _

Oh mama, let me hear that rock and roll _ [G] lullaby

_ We made it through the lonely days, [C] but lord the nights were long
[Am] _ [D] And we'd dream of [D] better mornings _ [C] when mama sang a [G] song _
Now I can't recall the words at all, [C] it don't make sense to [Am] try
_ [D] Cause I just knew lots of love came through [C] in that rock and roll _ [G] lullaby
And she'd sing, _ _ _ _ _ shananananananana, [Am] it'll be alright _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
Shananananananana, just for one time _ _
I can hear you mama, _ _ my my my [Am] my mama _ _ _ _
_ [C] Nothing moves my soul like [D] the sound of a good [C] old rock and roll _ [G] lullaby
