I got the tuning and some of the chords for this song out of some tabulature book, the rest I figured out myself. I am pretty sure the chords are right, but the rhythm may be a little off, mainly because I couldn`t heart the guitar over the mandolin half the time. Anyways, here it is...

I don`t know how I`m going to tell you I can`t play with you no more I don`t know how I`m going to do what mama told me My friend the boy next door

I can`t believe what people saying You only let your hair down I`m satisfied to sit here working all day long You`re in the darkest side of town

And when I`m out I see you walking Why don`t your eyes see me Could it be you`ve found another game to play What did mama say to me

Riff 2 Riff 1 That`s the way Oh that`s the way it ought to be Riff 2 Riff 3A 2x Mama said that`s the way it ought to stay

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river And weren`t those tears that filled your eyes And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying Had they got you hypnotized

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers But all that lives is born to die And so I say to you that nothing really matters And all you do is stand and cry

I don`t know what to say about it When all your ears are turned away But now`s the time to look and look again at what you see Is that the way it ought to stay

Riff 2 Riff 1 That`s the way That`s the way it ought to be Whoa don`t you know now Riff 2 Riff B 3x Mama said mama said that`s the way it`s going to stay Ahh Ahh

Aaaaaaaaaah Ahhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Riff 5 until end
