This is meant to be a simpler way to play a highly complex song.  Not all the chords may sound 100%
true to the record, but that was not my goal in this tab.  Some of the chords may look more difficult 
at first for beginners, but most of them are actually a lot easier to play than they look.  Authors, please 
refrain from complexifying any part of the song if you can help it.  I'm 100% open to changes but want to 
keep this simple.  There are far more accurate tabs if that is something you're looking for.  Thank you,
and I hope you enjoy!

Mama, just killed a man,

Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

G            Em
Too late, my time has come,

Sends shivers down my spine
       Am               D
Body's aching all the time,

Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
      Am              Am/G#    Am/G Am/F#    Am/F Am/E
Gotta leave you all behind and face   the truth

Mama ooooh (any way the wind blows)
Dm
I don't want to die,
  G                                      C
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
