C   Am   Em   G

    C        Am                           Em          G
Oh! my mama, she gave me these feathered breaths 
    C        Am                      Em               G
Oh! my mama, she told me, “Use your voice, my little bird!”
           C                       Am              Em      G         
She said “sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! sing! melodies”
         C                 Am                    Em     G
And she sang! sang! sang! sang! sang! those melodies

     C               Am             Em                  G                              
Oh! my mama, she did give me fancy feet I’ll be dancin’ on
     C                     Am                         Em         G
And I’ll tap, tap, tap my toes into those creaking floor boards
     C           Am             Em               G
Oh! My mama she took my little hand and held on tight
     C                 Am               Em       G
All the mamas give the waters of their wells!
     C                 Am               Em                 G
All the mamas give the babies this very dirt we’re walking on

     C           Am                       Em       G     
Oh! My mama, she gave me these feathered breaths 
     C             Am                        Em         G
And your mama, she gave you these feathered breaths too
     C                            Am      
And when the sky drops all those feathers
Em                            G
When the birds sing in the morning

          C
I’ll be a mama
             Am
I’ll have a daughter
          Em
I’ll be a mama
             G
I’ll have a daughter
          C                   
And I’ll give her melodies
      Am
I’ll give her melodies
      Em                   
I’ll give her melodies
      G
I’ll give her melodies
      C                   
I’ll give her melodies
      Am
I’ll give her melodies
      Em                   
I’ll give her melodies
      G
I’ll give her melodies
           C   Am
And she’ll be       
               Em   G
My little bird
                 C   Am
And then she’ll fly
           Em   G
She’ll fly

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 3
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the change: Am ↔ C
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
