  B               F#                    C#mShe sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
     E          F#       BWith courage of just 18 years
  B               F#                 C#mA penny and quarter were taped to a letter
    E          F#           B       F#  EAnd Mama's good-bye in her ears
    B              F#            C#mShe watched as her high school faded behind her
        E              F#            BAnd the house with the white picket fence
     B            F#             C#mThen she read the note that her Mama had wrote
E                          F#Wrapped up with twenty-six cents

                         B     F#     G#m  F#    G#mWhen you get lonely   call me   anytime at all

                                    D#mThere's nothing I got that I wouldn't give
    E                C#mAnd money is never enough

  B         F#             C#mA penny and quarter buys a whole lot of nothin
E           F#            BTaped to an old wrinkled note
             B           F#             C#mAnd when she didn't have much, she had all Mama's love
E                   F#Inside that old envelope
