Song: Hungry Eyes Tab
Verse 1:
E A
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour
E B
camp stand out in this memory I revived;
E
Cause my daddy raised a family there, with
A E
two hard working hands
B E
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes.
Verse 2:
E
He dreamed of something better, and my
A E
mama's faith was strong and us kids were
B E
just to young to realize That another class
A E
of people put us somewhere just below;
B E
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
Chorus:
E(hold) E
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
A E
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
A E
She only wanted things she really needed;
B E
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
Verse 3:
E A
I remember daddy praying for a better way
E
of life but I don't recall a change of any
B E
size; Just a little loss of courage, as
A E
their age began to show and more sadness in
B E
my mama's hungry eyes.
Chorus:
E(hold) E
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
A E
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
A E
She only wanted things she really needed;
B E
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
E(hold) B(hold) E A E
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
