Thats What Mamas Do Chords

   
                         That's What Mamas Do

The Strumming Pattern is: D D D DUDU (d=down; u=up)
During verses, it may change slightly-listen to song to figure out

I found this by listening and watching covers and the song, it works pretty well 
for the most part.

[Verse 1]
D
She'll change a dirty diaper
G
Wipe a runny nose
D
Get a two day old kool-aid stain
G
right out of your clothes
D
& she'll put her last spare dollar under your pillow
Em                G
when you lose a tooth
D
She'll bust down your door
G
& drag you out of bed
D
make you sit right next to her in church 
G
wearing your Sunday best
D
& when she bows her head to pray, you can bet
Em                   G
shes saying one for you

[Chorus]
            C      D
That's what mamas do
G                 D
they raise you, ground you
G                         D
build their whole world around you
G                                        D
with no care for the hell they'll go through
             C     D
that's what mamas do

[Verse 2]
D
She'll keep up with all your girlfriends
G
scare off the ones she hates
D
She'll get a new grey hair and a wrinkle to spare
G
every time you come home late
D
& when you leave to chase that dream, she's gonna cry when
Em                        G
she walks by your empty room
D
She'll call and sing you happy birthday
G
when everyone else forgets
D
On your wedding day she'll joke and say
G
where are my grandkids
D
oh & when she get em she'll spoil em rotten
     Em                    G
the way her mama did with you

CHORUS

[Verse 3]
G
But she'll get old and fragile
D
& the end will come too soon
G
& she'll let go and you'll hold on 
D                     G
the way all children do
D                   G
& you'll miss her, mourn her
D
leave pretty flowers for her
          G                     Em
& you'll cry like the baby she knew
           G         D
& she'll hear you, guide you
    G              D
& pray the light finds you
        G             D          Em
She'll never stop watching over you
     G               D    Em
oh until you're up there too
               C   D
That's what mamas do
