hungry eyes2 Merle Haggard
[C]A canvas covered cabin in a [F]crowded labour [C]camp
[C]Stand out in this memory I [G]revived;[D] [G]
[C]Cause my daddy raised a family there, with [F]two hard working [C]hands
[C]And tried to feed my [G]mama's hungry [C]eyes.
[C]He dreamed of something better, and my [F]mama's faith was [C]strong
[C]And us kids were just to young to [G]realize[D] [G]
[C]That another class of people put us [F]somewhere just [C]below;
[C]One more reason for my [G]mama's hungry [C]eyes.
CHORUS: C F C C
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it [C]wasn't cause my [F]daddy didn't [C]try.[C]
She [C]only wanted [F]things she really [C]needed;[C]
One more [C]reason for my [G]mama's hungry [C]eyes.[C]
[C]I remember daddy praying for a [F]better way of [C]life
[C]But I don't recall a change of any [G]size;[D] [G]
[C]Just a little loss of courage, as their [F]age began to [C]show
[C]And more sadness in my [G]mama's hungry [C]eyes.
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO: |C |G |C C G F |C G C - |
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes. (stop)
