Garth Brooks, Papa Loved Mama (1992)
Key: :[D#] (w: Garth Brooks, Kim Williams)
VERSE 1:
[D#7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it
[G#7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The
[A#7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she
[B] needed more to hold than just a
[A#7] telephone
VERSE 2:
[D#7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to
[G#7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[A#7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when
[B] daddy'd hang up she was
[A#7] gone again
[D#7]
CHORUS 1:
[G#7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[D#7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[G#7] Papa loved mama, mama loved
[G#7 open] men
[D#m open] Mama's in the graveyard
[A#7] papa's in the
[D#7] pen
VERSE 3:
Well it was
[D#7] bound to happen and one night it did
[G#7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He
[A#7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was
[B] looking to surprise us she was
[A#7] doing fine
VERSE 4:
I
[D#7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I
[G#7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That
[A#7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa
[B] fired it up and headed
[A#7] into town
[D#7]
CHORUS 2:
[G#7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[D#7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[G#7] The desk clerk said he saw it all
[G#7 open] real clear
He never
[D#m open] hit the breaks and he was
[A#7] shifting
[D#7] gears
CHORUS 1:
[G#7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[D#7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[G#7] Papa loved mama, mama loved
[G#7 open] men
[D#m open] Mama's in the graveyard
[A#7] papa's in the
[D#7] pen
