Verse 1 
A                                 E                                    F#m
She didn't join a feminist group, didn't trade her apron in for a suit
                                            D
She stayed home and raised my brothers and me
A                                 E                                    F#m
Some people might call her crazy and some magazine might say she's lazy but
                                        D
I got some words that I'd like to speak

Chorus 1
A
   If the world had a momma like mine
E
There'd be no more hate and love all the time and
F#m                                       D
There'd be no kids sleeping in our streets
A
   If the world had a momma like mine
E
There'd be a lot more dancin, a lot more laughin and
F#m                                     D
Abortion would be a word we didn't speak
                  A                     E
If the world had a momma like mine, whoa
                  F#m              D
If the world had a momma like mine

Verse 2
Now that I got two baby girls livin in this cruel, cruel world
I thank God everyday they got a prayin momma
What an example to have a prayin mom and a prayin dad and
a hope one day they can sing this song

Chorus 2
If the world had a momma like mine
There'd be more livin and more givin and
There'd be no violence in our schools
If the world had a momma like mine
There'd be a lot less cryin, a lot less dyin and
The church would be more than just a place we meet
If the world had a momma like mine, whoa
If the world had a momma like mine

Bridge
Bm                                 D
  I wanna thank my momma for every prayer that she prayed
D                             E
  I wanna thank my wife for my girls she's gonna raise
                A                 E
If the world had a momma like mine
                F#m               D
If the world had a momma like mine

Chorus 3
If the world had a momma like mine
There'd be more prayin and more stayin and
We'd love our neighbor like we love ourselves
If the world had a momma like mine
We would love one another, we wouldn't see color and
The Bible wouldn't collect dust upon our shelves
If the world had a momma like mine, whoa
If the world had a momma like mine
If the world had a momma like mine

End: F#m   E
