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

VERSE 1:
[G7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it [C7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The [D7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she [D#] needed more to hold than just a [D7] telephone

VERSE 2:
[G7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to [C7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[D7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when [D#] daddy'd hang up she was [D7] gone again [G7]

CHORUS 1:
[C7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[G7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[C7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [C7 open] men
[Gm open] Mama's in the graveyard [D7] papa's in the [G7] pen

VERSE 3:
Well it was [G7] bound to happen and one night it did
[C7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He [D7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was [D#] looking to surprise us she was [D7] doing fine

VERSE 4:
I [G7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I [C7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That [D7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa [D#] fired it up and headed [D7] into town [G7]

CHORUS 2:
[C7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[G7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[C7] The desk clerk said he saw it all [C7 open] real clear
He never [Gm open] hit the breaks and he was [D7] shifting [G7] gears

CHORUS 1:
[C7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[G7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[C7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [C7 open] men
[Gm open] Mama's in the graveyard [D7] papa's in the [G7] pen
