[D]
[F] Mama cried when [C] Frank Sinatra died.
[G] She wept for days when old Blue Eyes [Dm] passed away.
Like a death in the [F] family, she only had [D] the one LP.
She played it [G] constantly and it drove us [F] all insane.
When Mama [C] sang along to all them Tin Pan [G] Alley songs,
and she'd get the [D] words all wrong, but it didn't really [F] matter.
It just made us all [D] sad.
It's such [G] a shame.
[F] How Mama cried when Frank [C] Sinatra died.
But her reason [G] was any other, as if they [D] had been lovers
a long, [F] long time ago.
But as far [D] as I know,
she never even [G] caught a show, but all [F] the shame.
Her tears, they [C] were real, and her [G] grief, it was sincere.
And it came from a [Dm] deep place, [F] beyond reason,
[D] beyond rhyme, [G] without name.
Yeah, [F] Mama cried [C] like I never [C] saw Mama [G] cry before.
That's not exactly true.
[Dm] She cried a lot for you,
[F] and Richard Burton [D] too.
It was [G] all that she could do
to ease [F] the pain.
She'd smoke [C] cigarettes in bed,
drank the lure [G] as she read everything the [Dm] paper said.
She believed [F] every word.
Now it seems [D] sort of absurd
how [G] Mama cried when Frank [F] Sinatra died.
