Middle Child Daniel Romano
Capo 2nd
[D] [G]
[G]I was left alone, A long, long time ago
[C]By my mother who I never got to [D]know
Faded [C]memories of my life
Have been [G]washed in whiskey n[C]ights
And Iâ??[D]m living at the bottom of th[G]e bottle[C] [G]
[G]Iâ??ve spent my life on a bar stool all alone
Never [C]knowing why she sent me from my [D]home
Was there [C]something wrong with meâ??
That[G] no one else could [C]see
Whatâ??s t[D]he reason only I got turne[G]d away[C] [G]
(Chorus)
Mama [D]please tell me why
You would [C]leave just me behi[G]nd
You sent me off and then you went and had my b[D]rother
Before [C]me, a little girl
And theyâ??re[G] the centre of you[C]r world
Mama[G] tell me whyâ??d y[D]ou leave the middl[G]e childâ??
[C] [G] [D] [G]
[G]I shouldâ??ve gone back home and ask her to her face
[C]But my lifeâ??s become too much of [D]a disgrace
And I [C]got the news today saying[G] mama passed [C]away
[D]So Iâ??ll never know the reason Iâ[G]??m alone
(Chorus)
Mama [D]please tell me why
You would [C]leave just me behi[G]nd
You sent me off and then you went and had my b[D]rother
Before [C]me, a little girl
And theyâ??re[G] the centre of you[C]r world
Mama[G] tell me whyâ??d y[D]ou leave the middl[G]e child[C]â??
Mama tell m[G]e whyâ??d y[D]ou leave the middl[C]e chil[G]dâ[D]??[G]
