Form of the Song
"Mama's Song" is the sentimental song by Carrie Underwood from the American Idol singer's album, Play On. The song, co-written by Underwood, was released as the fourth single from this, her third album.
Underwood made her way to stardom through the Fox reality show, American Idol. Billboard charts listed the track in its Hot 100 list when the album debuted, and then the song returned after its single release date, climbing even higher on the charts.
The song uses a hybrid of picking and strumming. All of the chords used are very fundamental, but pay attention to the Bm and D/F# chords. The Bm required a bar chord, a little more work for a beginner guitarist, and the D/F#, although it looks intimidating, is a simple variation of a basic chord.
