Your Mama Dont Dance Tab

by Loggins And Messina


                      Your Mama Don't Dance
                       Loggins and Messina


This a great hand-clapping, juke-jivin type of song, played with
a swing-type of shuffle beat. This is best played with two accoustics,
so I've tabbed both guitar parts. This version is done in "A".

h=hammer r=rake( pull-off) /=slide up \=slide down

CHORUS:

                                                
Your mama don't dance, your daddy don't rock and roll.
        ( play intro )

                                                
Your mama don't dance, your daddy don't rock and roll.
        ( play intro )

                                    
When evenin' comes around and it's time to go to town

       
way to go, you rock and roll.


1st VERSE:

                                              
The old folks say, you gotta end your date by ten.
        ( play intro )

                                                           
If you're out on a date and you bring her home late it's a sin.
       ( play intro )

                                       
Just goes to show ya it proves that you know you're gonna lose 


          
and never win, I'll say it again. And its all because-


          ( CHORUS )

Then go to bridge with a walk up :

BRIDGE:

You pull into a drive-way, you find a place to park.



You hop into the backseat, where you know it's nice and dark.



You're just about to groove and you think it's a breeze,



When there's a light in your eye and another guy says:



OUTTA THE CAR LONG - HAIR!!!!


                                                 
Louise, you're coming with me, and we'll call the police.


   ( CHORUS )
