Garth Brooks, Papa Loved Mama (1992)
^{Key: :[D] (w: Garth Brooks, Kim Williams)}

VERSE 1:
[D7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it [G7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The [A7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she [A#] needed more to hold than just a [A7] telephone

VERSE 2:
[D7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to [G7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[A7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when [A#] daddy'd hang up she was [A7] gone again [D7]

CHORUS 1:
[G7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[D7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[G7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [G7 open] men
[Dm open] Mama's in the graveyard [A7] papa's in the [D7] pen

VERSE 3:
Well it was [D7] bound to happen and one night it did
[G7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He [A7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was [A#] looking to surprise us she was [A7] doing fine

VERSE 4:
I [D7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I [G7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That [A7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa [A#] fired it up and headed [A7] into town [D7]

CHORUS 2:
[G7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[D7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[G7] The desk clerk said he saw it all [G7 open] real clear
He never [Dm open] hit the breaks and he was [A7] shifting [D7] gears

CHORUS 1:
[G7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[D7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[G7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [G7 open] men
[Dm open] Mama's in the graveyard [A7] papa's in the [D7] pen
