Ah now, mama, don't you know what you done

Ah, you made the sunshine in the city
Oh, you warmed my heart
You changed an old man filled with pity
Back to a child again
Ah now, mama, can't you see what you done

The seventh chords in the last bit are just guesses on my part.
Feel free to take liberties with any part that doesn't sound
right to you.
