Hootie played at Elon last night and this is what I have been able to figure out from watching the show. I was pretty far back, since those damn Carolina students shoved their way to the front in our gym!

Intro: E B A
Momma please don't go
Won't you stay here for one more day
I've been you boy for so long now There's so much I have to say Scareb's open and I held my heart in my hand Like a soldier on his very last day Cried myself to sleep at night And I listened as I heard the angels say Sha la la
[the chords in the chorus may be wrong, please advise if they are]
Sha la la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home Sha la la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home
Something inside of me makes me scream How could it got to you from a little boy You'll be all right he is by my side He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy Sha la la la
Sha la la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home Sha la la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home
[solo]
Summer on the radio and the phone rang and it was Jeannette Dear boy we have to let her go I begged no, no not yet you left six of us to fend for ourselves Guess it's just part of someone's master plan We'll see you left cause your my best friend you were a light to them and I smiled when the angels sang sha la la la
