Garth Brooks, Papa Loved Mama (1992)
Key: :[A#] (w: Garth Brooks, Kim Williams)
VERSE 1:
[A#7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it
[D#7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The
[F7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she
[F#] needed more to hold than just a
[F7] telephone
VERSE 2:
[A#7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to
[D#7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[F7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when
[F#] daddy'd hang up she was
[F7] gone again
[A#7]
CHORUS 1:
[D#7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[A#7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[D#7] Papa loved mama, mama loved
[D#7 open] men
[A#m open] Mama's in the graveyard
[F7] papa's in the
[A#7] pen
VERSE 3:
Well it was
[A#7] bound to happen and one night it did
[D#7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He
[F7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was
[F#] looking to surprise us she was
[F7] doing fine
VERSE 4:
I
[A#7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I
[D#7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That
[F7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa
[F#] fired it up and headed
[F7] into town
[A#7]
CHORUS 2:
[D#7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[A#7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[D#7] The desk clerk said he saw it all
[D#7 open] real clear
He never
[A#m open] hit the breaks and he was
[F7] shifting
[A#7] gears
CHORUS 1:
[D#7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[A#7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[D#7] Papa loved mama, mama loved
[D#7 open] men
[A#m open] Mama's in the graveyard
[F7] papa's in the
[A#7] pen
