CAPO 3 standard tuning.
I worked out chords to make it sound different and acoustic so it won't be too
similar to the original.
Am C
Mamma told me not to waste my life
G D
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Am C
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
G
And if they give you shhhh..
D
Then they can walk on by
Verse:
Am C
My feet, feet can't touch the ground
G
And I can't hear a sound
D
But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah
Am C
Walk, walk on over there
G D
Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah
Pre-Chorus:
Am Em
Your words don't mean a thing
G
I'm not listening
D
Keep talking, all I know is
Chorus:
Am C
Mamma told me not to waste my life,
G D
She said spread your wings my little butterfly

And I don't even care, oh yeah

I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
