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

VERSE 1:
[A7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it [D7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The [E7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she [F] needed more to hold than just a [E7] telephone

VERSE 2:
[A7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to [D7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[E7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when [F] daddy'd hang up she was [E7] gone again [A7]

CHORUS 1:
[D7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[A7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[D7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [D7 open] men
[Am open] Mama's in the graveyard [E7] papa's in the [A7] pen

VERSE 3:
Well it was [A7] bound to happen and one night it did
[D7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He [E7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was [F] looking to surprise us she was [E7] doing fine

VERSE 4:
I [A7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I [D7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That [E7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa [F] fired it up and headed [E7] into town [A7]

CHORUS 2:
[D7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[A7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[D7] The desk clerk said he saw it all [D7 open] real clear
He never [Am open] hit the breaks and he was [E7] shifting [A7] gears

CHORUS 1:
[D7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[A7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[D7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [D7 open] men
[Am open] Mama's in the graveyard [E7] papa's in the [A7] pen
