[Chorus]
                     C
Mama said that it was okay
G                       D            G
Mama said that it was quite alright
                        D          G
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
               Am
and it was okay
                       C           
Mama said that we were good kids
G                          D             G
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
                 D                  G
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                    Am
'cause we were good kids
[Verse 1]
                        C
Remember asking both my mom and dad
                        G
Why we never travel to exotic lands
                          C
We only ever really visit friends
                           G
Nothing to tell when the summer ends
                     C
We never really went buying clothes
                                          G
'cause folks were passing on the stuff in plenty loads
                C
New shoes once a year and then
                             G
Out to play ball so we could go in them
[Chorus]
                            C    
When mama said that it was okay
G                      D           G
Mama said that it was quite alright
                       D             G
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
           Am
and it was okay
                     C      
Mama told us we were good kids
G                         D              G
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
               D                   G
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                     Am
'cause we were good kids
[Verse 2]
                              C
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have it bad
                           G
I got enough loving from my mom and dad
                              C
But I don't think they really understood
                                    G
When I said that I wanted to deal in Hollywood
                         C
I told 'em I'd be singing on tv
                             G
The other kids were callin' me a wannabe
                            C
The older kids they started bugging me
                                      G
But now they're all standing right in front of me
[Chorus]
                            C    
When mama said that it was okay
G                      D           G
Mama said that it was quite alright
                       D             G
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
           Am
and it was okay
                      C      
Mama told us we were good kids
G                         D              G
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
               D                    G
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                       Am
'cause we were good kids
[Chorus]
C           G
I know which place im from
C        G
I know my home
C           G
When Im in doubt and struggling
C           G
thats where I'll go
       C                G
An old friend can give advice
          C                         G
when new friends only know the half story
               C                G
That's why I always keep 'em tight
                   Am
And while you're okay
            E7
I said I'm okay
You know what my mama said? You know what she told me?
[Chorus]
                            C    
When mama said that it was okay
G                      D           G
Mama said that it was quite alright
                       D             G
Our kinda people had a bed for the night
           Am
and it was okay
[Outro]
                     C      
Mama told us we were good kids
G                         D              G
and daddy told us never listen to the ones
               D                   G
pointing nasty fingers and making fun
                       Am
'cause we were good kids
