I'm posting a correction to "Jesus and Mama". I havent seen the sheet music but I
believe it is in the key of F#. But
If you stick with the key of G this is the correct way:


GI (320003@1)made a wish upon a star
CI (x32010@1)could have a brand new car
GGot (320003@1)tired of wishing
     D (xx0232@1)So I stole one

GSeventeen (320003@1)and knew it all
 
CMy (x32010@1)dreams were big but my thoughts were small
GSo (320003@1)many roads somehow I chose
     DThe (xx0232@1)wrong one


G (320003@1)                        CBut (x32010@1)Jesus and mama always loved me

G (320003@1)                      DEven (xx0232@1)when the devil took control
G (320003@1)                    C (x32010@1)     G (320003@1)DJesus (xx0232@1)and mama always loved me
       GThis (320003@1)I know


I felt trapped most all my life
Found new kinds of lows and highs
Never been a husband but I've had a
lot of wives To hold me


Headstrong, stubborn, couldn't be told
Like a wild horse that couldn't be rode
A rainbow chaser hungry for gold
And still searchin'


Repeat Chorus


I wish mom could see me now
And how I've turned it all around
Lately I've been going down
The right road

Life's a picture that you paint
With blues and grays and can's and cant's 
Heaven knows I'm not a saint
But I know


Repeat Chorus
