Intro: C
 
Verse 1:
C
I can't wait to show you where I grew up
Am
Walk you 'round the foothills of my town
         F
Probably feel like you've been there before
                              C
After hearing all the stories I've been telling you
        G
For 6 months now
 
Verse 2:
      C
We'll probably have to sleep in separate bedrooms

Pack a shirt for church because we'll go
F
I'm not trying to scare you off but
                                     C  
I just thought that we should talk a few things out

Before we hit the road
 
Chorus:
     F                 C
If I bring you home to mama
   G                Am
I guess I'd better warn ya
    F                      C            G   Am  G 
She falls in love a little faster than I do
       F                   C
And my dad will check your tires
          G           Am
Pour you whiskey over ice and
         F           C                          G  Am  G 
Take you fishing but pretend that he don't like you
       F         G          Am
Oh, if we break up, I'll be fine
              F             G           C
But you'll be breaking more hearts than mine
 
Verse 3:
   C
My sister's gonna ask a million questions
    Am
Say anything she can to turn you red
    F
And when you meet my high school friends
 
They'll buy you drinks and fill you in
   C                             G    Gsus4
On all the crazy nights I can't outlive
 
Chorus:
   G    F                 C
So if I bring you home to mama
   G                Am
I guess I'd better warn ya
    F                      C            G   Am  G 
She falls in love a little faster than I do
       F                   C
And my dad will check your tires
          G           Am
Pour you whiskey over ice and
         F         C                          G  Am  G 
Buy you dinner but pretend that he don't like you
       F         G          Am
Oh, if we break up, I'll be fine
              F             G           C
But you'll be breaking more hearts than mine

If I bring you home to mama

I guess I'd better warn ya
    F           C              G    Am  G 
She feels every heartache I go through
          F            C
And if my dad sees me crying
                 G           Am
He'll pour some whiskey over ice and
       F              C             G     Am  G 
Tell a lie and say he never really liked you
        F        G           Am
Oh, if we break up, I'll be fine
              F             G            C
But you'll be breaking more hearts than mine
           F             G           C
You'll be breaking more hearts than mine
