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

VERSE 1:
[B7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it [E7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The [F#7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she [G] needed more to hold than just a [F#7] telephone

VERSE 2:
[B7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to [E7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[F#7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when [G] daddy'd hang up she was [F#7] gone again [B7]

CHORUS 1:
[E7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[B7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[E7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [E7 open] men
[Bm open] Mama's in the graveyard [F#7] papa's in the [B7] pen

VERSE 3:
Well it was [B7] bound to happen and one night it did
[E7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He [F#7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was [G] looking to surprise us she was [F#7] doing fine

VERSE 4:
I [B7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I [E7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That [F#7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa [G] fired it up and headed [F#7] into town [B7]

CHORUS 2:
[E7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[B7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[E7] The desk clerk said he saw it all [E7 open] real clear
He never [Bm open] hit the breaks and he was [F#7] shifting [B7] gears

CHORUS 1:
[E7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[B7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[E7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [E7 open] men
[Bm open] Mama's in the graveyard [F#7] papa's in the [B7] pen
