Mama Said
Metallica
------------Electric------------
*Intro*
*Verse 1*
Mama she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son your life's an open book
Don't close it before it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest
Thats what I heard her say
The son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way....
