VERSE:
 Dm
Papa used to grab my Mama by the hair
   Dm               D
He`d cuss her like a devil while I stood right there
   Dm
He`d punch her in the face and leave her crying on the floor
   Dm N.C.              D Dm D Dm
But Papa ain`t beating on Mama no mo-o-ore

 Dm
Everybody knows Papa had a wondering eye
   Dm                 D
He`d hit the hoochie coochie club and drink the bar dry
  Dm
He liked to run around with a hand full of hoes
   Dm N.C.              D Dm
But Papa ain`t cheating on Mama no mo-o-ore


CHORUS:
     C        G             D D Dsus4 D
I was a teenage boy who loved his mom a little too much
  C             G          D Dsus4 D
To watch a man treat her like that and not make no fuss
   C            G
So I mowed a bunch of grass, saved a bunch of cash
 D             G
Spent it at the local gun store
    G  N.C.              D  Dm  Dm  D
Well, Papa ain`t beating on Mama no mo-o-ore


CHORUS:
   C        G          D D Dsus4 D
When Papa walked in I lifted that 12 Gauge up
  C              G            D Dsus4 D
I damn near couldn`t pull the trigger I was shaking so much
   C            G
I remember the smell of the gun powder well
   D             G
Papa lying on the living room floor

   G  N.C            D
Well Papa ain`t cheating on Mama no more
 G  N.C.              D Dm D Dm
Papa ain`t beating on Mama no mo-o-ore


VERSE:
 Dm
I get to see Mama bout every other week
   Dm              D
The world on her shoulders, and a tear on her cheek
    Dm
She`ll be in the ground before I`m up for parole

   Dm N.C.
But Papa ain`t cheating on Mama no more
 Dm N.C.
Papa ain`t beating on Mama no more
   Dm N.C.              D Dm D Dm
And Papa ain`t hurting my Mama no mo-o-ore
