E5            Ab5                    F#5          E5
Momma please don't go won't you stay here for one more day
                        Ab5 
I've been you boy for so long now
                F#5           E5
There's so much I, I still have to say
          Ab5                    F#5
Sky rips open and I held my heart in my hand
          E5
Like a soldier on his very last day
                Ab5
Cried myself to sleep at night
         F#5                   E5
And I listened as I heard the angels sing sha la la

Chorus
E5         B5             D5                A5
Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home
E5         B5            D5                A5
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home        

    E5                            Ab5
Oh, something inside of me makes me scream
    F#5                          E5
Oh, how could God take you from a little boy
                            Ab5
He'll be all right he is by my side
              F#5                 E5
He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy sha la la la

Summer on the radio and the phone rings and it was Jeannette 
                      Ab5                F#5   E5
Sayin?, boy we had to let her go I begged no, no not yet
E5                        Ab5
You left six of us to fend for ourselves
F#5                                  E5
Guess it's just part of someone's master plan
                                 Ab5
We'll see you laughing you?re my best friend
             F#5
You were a lion and the lamb
           E5
And I cried as the angels sang sha la la la
