DIMESTORE LIFE (Mary Karlzen)
-----------------------------

C   C      D                D
  Ohhh I know it's hard to let go
G6              G6            Dsus9   Dsus9            Em  Em  C  C
  But these mistakes I gotta make,  I gotta make on my own    [see tab #1]
C   C         Bm [hold]
  Ohhh, what a wonderful ride
C      C        Bm              Bm
  When all the happiness in the world
G     D/F#           Em   Em
  Is right here on the inside
G   D/F#           Em   Em  [pause]
  Right here on the inside

[instrumental]

         C   Em   D          G
She was sixteen, never knew more
         C         Em            D              G
Than the backporch swing and the counter at the dime store
C  Em    D         G
    What do you know
C  Em  D  G
[instrumental]

          C   Em       D         G
She had dreams, dreams of many things
  C            Em       D         G
A life on the road and all that brings
C   Em          D      G
Ohhhh, there's got to be more
C  Em            D            G
     Than this counter at the dime store
C  Em  D  G
[instrumental]

D   D              C        C
Ohhhh, what does this life have in store
G   G           C              C
    I need to know if there's any more
D   D           C   C
    I need to know
G    D/F#           Em        C
  Mama, won't you please let me go
G    D/F#           Em        C    D   D   D [stop.]
  Mama, won't you please let me go

Wave goodbye at the end of spring
Drop down a graduation gown and a high school ring
Echo on the gym floor
[instrumental]

A life made from cards and sticks
The kind of broke that money can't fix
Ohhhh, this road'll take me somewhere
And I'll know it when I get there
[instrumental]

Ohhhh, what does this life have in store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go

C  Em  D  G   C  Em  D  G
[guitar solo]
C  Em  D  G   C  Em  D  G
[guitar solo]
Em  Em  C  C   Em  Em  D [hold]
[guitar solo]

Day to day, and town to town
Mama writes, "I can never track her down"
She's gonna find what she's looking for
[instrumental]

Thirty-one when she finally makes it home
With the wisdom of the world, a woman fully grown
Oh I never needed more
Than this counter at the dime store
Than this counter at the dime store
[instrumental]

Ohhhh, what does this life have in store
I need to know if there's any more
I need to know
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, won't you please let me go
Mama, let me go...
[repeat and fade G D/F# Em C with ad lib vocals]


TAB:

[Both of these are probably a little off, mostly because they're played on
 an electric guitar and I only have an acoustic.  I know the notes are right,
 but I might be playing them on the wrong strings, as usual.]
