Verse: 
 
G     C                  G 
Mama, I hear you calling tonight 
G              C                     G 
Your old song, calling me in for the night 
       G           C                              G 
In the tall grass, down from the trees where I've climbed 
    G                      C                            G 
The day is gone, the birds sing their last songs in the pines 
  C                             Am 
I hear your voice calling by the back door light 
   G          C        Em 
It reaches as far as I roam 
     C          G/F#        G 
It's calling me all the way home 
 
Verse: 
 
G          C                     G 
Mama, the darkness is falling so fast 
G          C                            G   
Somehow, I thought the day would always last 
G                  C                   G 
And I am afraid as I walk alone in the night 
G             C                          G         
Following the sound of your voice by the light 
     C                             Am 
Your sweet voice is calling by the back door light 
   G          C        Em 
It reaches as far as I roam 
     C         G/F#         Em 
It's calling me all the way home 
     C          G/F#        Em 
It's calling me all the way home 
C          G/F#        G 
Calling me all the way home

Mama, the night is so long and so deep 
          G             C                        G 
Won't you stay a while, stay with me here till I sleep
