Song: Hungry Eyes Tab

Verse 1:
    E                          A
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour 
 E                                 B
camp stand out in this memory I revived;
           E 
Cause my daddy raised a family there, with 
 A                E
two hard working hands 
                      B             E
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes.

Verse 2:
      E                   
He dreamed of something better, and my 
 A                 E
mama's faith was strong and us kids were 
                   B            E
just to young to realize That another class 
                     A            E
of people put us somewhere just below;
                        B             E
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

Chorus:
      E(hold)                     E
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted 
                         A           E
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try. 
                  A                 E
She only wanted things she really needed; 
                        B             E
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

Verse 3:
    E                            A
I remember daddy praying for a better way 
     E                        
of life but I don't recall a change of any 
 B             E
size; Just a little loss of courage, as 
       A            E
their age began to show and more sadness in 
    B             E
my mama's hungry eyes.

Chorus:
      E(hold)                     E
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted 
                         A           E
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try. 
                  A                 E
She only wanted things she really needed; 
                        B             E
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
       E(hold)         B(hold)       E  A E
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
