Papa Was A Good Man chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

PAPA WAS A augmentedA GOOD MAN

C majorC               G7G7
It rained all the way to Cincinnati
                C majorC
With our mattress on top of the car
                  G7G7
Us kids were eatin' crackers and baloney
                         C majorC
And papa kept on drivin' never stopped once at a bar

                  G7G7
And then mama started talkin' about Jesus
                  C majorC
And how our lives could be from now on
                  G7G7
While papa bought a used tire in Columbus
                       C majorC  C7C7
Mama rocked the baby till all her tears were gone

       FF           C majorC
She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it
  FF                 D7D7         G7G7
The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it
FF               C majorC        A minorAm
Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves
    C majorC  FF    C majorC  G7G7    C majorC FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
Rock of Ages Rock of Ages cleft for me

        G7G7
I remember when Papa finally gave up drinking

I think Mama was the only one on earth that really taught she could
C majorC
I remember a lot of times we?ve pack everything we owned
                     G7G7
Into some old car and we?d start out for some new town

And trough it all Mama?s faith was the one thing
                   C majorC  C7C7
Was strong enough to finally do some good

       FF           C majorC
She said your papa is a good man and don't you kids forget it
  FF                 D7D7         G7G7
The whiskey's tryin' to ruin him but I know the Lord won't let it
FF               C majorC        A minorAm
Then we sang Amazing Grace and Bringing In The Sheaves
    C majorC  FF    C majorC  G7G7    C majorC FF C majorC
Rock of Ages Rock of Ages cleft for me
