Mama - Spice Girls

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

Capo 1

All tab is relative to capo....so a "9" is actually played at fret 10.

C/G  - 332010
D/F# - 200232
Em7  - 022033
G    - 320033

You don't really need to play the G or F# bass notes but I think it sounds
better that way.

Intro (violin or cello, somemthing like that):

(With intro riff)
Back then I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love

Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama my friend
My friend

(Riff)

Riff (this is a flute or something, and it's probably not right):

I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility

Chorus

Riff

Mama I'm sure I know why, why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all I can give you is love

Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama I care

(With Riff)
Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama I care

Repeat, with different words sometimes, for a few minutes until fadeout
