Bb        C
Tall and tender,
     F             Dm
His hands like my daddy`s were,

 G                     C
And a mind that understands


PRE-CHORUS:
Bb       C                 F          Dm
And the arms that held me when I was crying
Bb             C                A
The lips that kissed away the tears


CHORUS:
Bb               C           F
  But they`re a part of the man
         Dm
That my momma loved,

Bb          C          F
And I have loved me a man

Bb      C             F             Dm
I can still feel the warmth of the words he said

G                            C
He had my heart tied in his hands


PRE-CHORUS:
Bb          C               F           Dm
And in the morning I would wake by his side
Bb          C                 A
And wonder what I could have done


CHORUS:
Bb     C          F           Dm
To be loved by a man like my momma loved,
Bb          C          F   G
And I have loved me a man

 C        D           G             Em
She`d be gentle and sweet, like my momma was

 A                            D
I`d watch her grow and in a while


PRE-CHORUS:
 C            D                G            Em
She`d ask me momma what should I want from life
 C           D                B
And I would tell her with a smile


CHORUS:
C        D          G             Em
Just be loved by a man like your momma loved
 C          D          G
