Intro: All in D5 
 
D5 
When I was 6 or 7 
               A5 
Mama tucked me in 
        D5 
With a lullaby and it 
                       A5 
Made my eyes open wide again 
         G5                             
I would lie awake and wonder 
       D5               G5 
Why a boy named Billy Joel 
        D5 
Jumped off the Tallahatchee Bridge 
        A5 
To the river far below 


G5 
Blame it on mama 
       D5 
And the songs she loved to sing 
     G5                     D5 
I'm not from Louisiana but that don't mean a thing 
      G5            D5 
Don't come from Alabama or a hill from Tennessee 
      C5 
Just blame it on mama, she sang (she sang) 
           D5 
The country into me  
 

D5 
I just loved to listen 
                        A5 
As she'd sing those story songs 
      D5 
'Bout a coat of many colors 
                  A5 
Or a girl named Delta Dawn 
         G5                   
When the lights went out in Georgia 
      D5               G5 
I would beg for just one more 
D5 
All about Fancy and the pretty red satin  
A5 
Dancing dress she wore 
 
(Chorus) 
 

G5                D5 
I'm a coal miner's daughter 
G5                D5 
Lovin my preacher's son 
      G5                   D5 
I have walked the streets of La Reto 
            A5 
Stared down the barrel of a law man's gun 
 

G5                   D5 
I've grown roots and I've got claims 
G5                 D5 
To places I've never been 
G5                   D5 
And when I sing those songs it takes me 
A5 
Right back home again 
D5 
(Chorus) 
    D5 
The country into me, yeah
