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

VERSE 1:
[E7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it [A7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The [B7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she [C] needed more to hold than just a [B7] telephone

VERSE 2:
[E7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to [A7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[B7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when [C] daddy'd hang up she was [B7] gone again [E7]

CHORUS 1:
[A7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[E7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[A7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [A7 open] men
[Em open] Mama's in the graveyard [B7] papa's in the [E7] pen

VERSE 3:
Well it was [E7] bound to happen and one night it did
[A7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He [B7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was [C] looking to surprise us she was [B7] doing fine

VERSE 4:
I [E7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I [A7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That [B7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa [C] fired it up and headed [B7] into town [E7]

CHORUS 2:
[A7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[E7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[A7] The desk clerk said he saw it all [A7 open] real clear
He never [Em open] hit the breaks and he was [B7] shifting [E7] gears

CHORUS 1:
[A7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[E7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[A7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [A7 open] men
[Em open] Mama's in the graveyard [B7] papa's in the [E7] pen
