"Mama Said" by Metallica, from the album "Load."
Transcribed by Daniel Meijer
Submitted By: Wade Edinburgh
Some have bagged this as "country music" which is crap, it takes more
than a pedal steel to make country music. It's more like Led Zeppelin's
"Tangerine" than anything else. "Load" is great (and I love Master of
Puppets), it shows a new depth to the band's songwriting.
Some of the lyric transcriptions might be a bit out, feel free to email
me any corrections!
In the intro and verses, play around with the Dm and Am chords....turn
them into Dmsus2, Dmsus4, and Amsus4.
Tune down a 1/2 step.

Intro:
Dm C Am
*Verse*
Dm
Mama she has taught me well
C Am
Told me when I was young
Dm
Son your life's an open book
C Am
Don't close it before it's done
Dm
The brightest flame burns quickest
C Am
Thats what I heard her say
D
The son's heart's owed to mother
C Am
But I must find my way....
*Chorus*
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
*Intro again*
*Verse 2*
Dm
Remember my new last name
C Am
Wild blood in my veins
Dm
Draping the strings around my neck
C Am
The mark that still remains
Dm
Left home at an early age
C Am
of what I heard was wrong (?)
Dm
I never asked forgiveness
C Am
For what is said is done....
*Chorus*
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still.
*Verse 3*
Dm
Mama now I'm coming home
C Am
I'm not all you wished of me
Dm
A mother's love for her son
C Am
was spoken heavily(?)
Dm
yeah I took your love for granted
C Am
and all the things you said to me
Dm
I need your arms to welcome me
C Am
That cold stone's all I see.....
*Chorus*
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
Dm C Am Dm
Let my heart go
Dm C Am Dm
Mama let my heart go
Dm C Am Dm
You never let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
(solo over Dm G C F twice)
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm G
Never I asked of you
C F
but never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
that I'll take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am
So let this heart be still.

Hi guys!
That's a gr8 song from the 'new' Metallica : it's in their last album,
'Load'. It's called 'Mama Said'. I've found out only the chords : forgive me
if they're not right! :^)
Main Verse : C#min ( listen to the song to find out when you have to move your
little finger to the 7th fret of B string and then back
again )
B - G#min
Chorus : 3x C#min - B - G#min - F#
1x C#min - B - A - F# - G#
Then what we can call a Second Chorus : C#min - F# - B - E
which finishes like the Chorus : C#min - B - A - F# - G#
If you play it one half step higher, it becomes much easier. Sounds like :
Dmin - C - Amin etc... I think Metallica have their guitars tuned this way
for this song.
That's all! Sorry if there aren't the lyrics, but I'm Italian and I haven't
time to find them out now ( I've got my exams at University! :^) ). Please
e-mail me if this has been of some use for you ( and also if you have the
lyrics.. ;) ).
Ciao,
Stefano ( mc9350@mclink.it )

Dm Dmsus4 Am C
Mama now I'm coming home, I'm not all you wished of me.
Dm Dmsus4 Am C
A mother's love for her son, spoken, let me be.
Dm Dmsus4 Am C
I took your love for granted, and all you said to me.
Dm Dmsus4 Am C
I need your arms to welcome me, but your cold stone's all I see.

Never I asked of you and never you gave,

So let this heart be still.

This is the way how I play this song
I guess , I`m sure, this is the best version on internet
But I have to say that the intro I play a little bit different,but
it doesn`t matter:-)
Anyway I didn`t figure it out and author`s name is in the title
Pavel Holka
* Mama Said *
Metallica - from album "Load"
Words and music by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich
Transcribed by Kenneth Sundnes ksundnes@online.no
This is the right way, but I haven't figured it all out yet.
Missing some solo parts and the chorus solo...
Please mail me any comments/corrections...
