F5   A5   Bb5   Bb5 A5 G5 (3x)
                    cross this road...

F5                 A5
When I was just a little boy
Bb5                          Bb5 A5 G5
Well I would go out to play
And I would wander so far from home
That I would lose my way
And I'd call on my momma to help me
and she'd come right away
To help me get back home where I wanna be
And here's what I say

CHORUS 1
F5             C5
Momma hold my hand
Bb5                  Bb5    A5   G5        F5
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself

F5                A5
And when I was a young man
Bb5              Bb5 A5 G5
I would go astray
Didn't want nobody to hold my hand
Wanted to make my own way
D5                 A5       
And my momma would come out to help me
D5                 A5
But I pushed her away
D5                     A5
Cause I just wanted to be on my own
Bb5                Bb5    C5
And here's what I say

CHORUS 2
F5              C5
Momma leave my hand
Bb5                   Bb5    A5   G5        F5
I've been waiting to cross this road by myself
A5         Bb5          Bb5 A5 G5
Cross this road by myself

F5                   A5
Well now that I'm a grown man
    Bb5           Bb5 A5 G5
And I've moved away
I got a house a 9to5
And my wife got a kid on the way
Momma told me that life's gonna gear of
Take it day by day
But every once in a while I get scared
And I wish I could say

CHORUS 3
F5             C5
Momma hold my hand
Bb5                  Bb5    A5   G5        F5
I don't think I can cross this road by myself
Momma hold my hand
I don't think I can cross this road by myself

F5               A5                     Bb5
Now my momma is near the end of her years
                  Bb5 A5 G5
And her hair is grey
Sometimes I call her
To ask her if she would like to spend the day
D5               A5
Momma used to be strong but she aint now
D5                      A5
And she can't make her way
D5                           A5
That's why I'm always around when she needs help
Bb5                 Bb5   C5
And here's what I say

CHORUS 4
F5             C5
Momma hold my hand
Bb5                    Bb5    A5   G5          F5
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
Momma hold my hand
I don't think you can cross this road by yourself
