Middle Child

Capo 2nd DG G I was left alone, A long, long time ago C D By my mother who I never got to know C Faded memories of my life G C Have been washed in whiskey nights D G G And I??m living at the bottom of the bottle G I??ve spent my life on a bar stool all alone C D Never knowing why she sent me from my home C Was there something wrong with me?? G C That no one else could see D G G What??s the reason only I got turned away (Chorus) D Mama please tell me why C G You would leave just me behind D You sent me off and then you went and had my brother C Before me, a little girl G C And they??re the centre of your world G D G Mama tell me why??d you leave the middle child?? CGDG G I should??ve gone back home and ask her to her face C D But my life??s become too much of a disgrace C G C And I got the news today saying mama passed away D G So I??ll never know the reason I??m alone (Chorus) D Mama please tell me why C G You would leave just me behind D You sent me off and then you went and had my brother C Before me, a little girl G C And they??re the centre of your world G D G C Mama tell me why??d you leave the middle child?? G D C GD G Mama tell me why??d you leave the middle child??
