Take Your Mama Out Tab

by Scissor Sisters


I usually don't tab out songs for the internet, but some of the garbage that I have
seen posted as "accurate" is too much to take. This is a chord transcripion. The chords
(especially the intro) have hammer ons between the changes but I didn't tab them here.
They are easy to hear and play.

Guitar tuned down 1/2 step Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb Chords are relative to 1/2 step tuning.
If you play this in standard, the chord make up is (Bb Ab Cm Eb)  make sure to play
all bar chords to get the accurate sound and especially play the B barred up on the
7th fret, not the second.

Take Your Mamma Out   B  A   C#m


                                          
When you grow up / Livin' like a good boy oughta
                                        
And your mama / Takes a shine to her best son
                                                 
Something different / All the girls they seem to like you
                                                      
Cause you're handsome / Like to talk and a whole lot of fun


             
But now your girl's gone a missin'
                               
And your house has got an empty bed
             
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
                               
They won't listen to a word you said


      
Gonna take your mama out all night
           
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
              
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
              
We'll let the good times all roll out
          
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
            
We're gonna sing along no matter what
            
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
                                   (small briddge riff)    
If you tip 'em and they make a cut



Do it
               
Take your mama out all night
                                                        
So she'll have no doubt that we're doing oh the best we can   A A A Bb B
            
We're gonna do it
               
Take your mama out all night
                                                    
You can stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown man     A A A  Bb B

Intro


It's a struggle / Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer / Watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama / Heard the way that you'd been talking
I tried to tell you / That all she'd wanna do is cry


Now we end up takin' the long way home
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glasses in the garbage
And your Continental's just got towed
