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

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


CHORUS:
     C majorC        G+G             D MajorD D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I was a teenage boy who loved his mom a little too much
  C majorC             G+G          D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
To watch a man treat her like that and not make no fuss
   C majorC            G+G
So I mowed a bunch of grass, saved a bunch of cash
 D MajorD             G+G
Spent it at the local gun store
    G+G  N.C.              D MajorD  DmDm  DmDm  D MajorD
Well, Papa ain`t beating on Mama no mo-o-ore

CHORUS:
   C majorC        G+G          D MajorD D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
When Papa walked in I lifted that 12 Gauge up
  C majorC              G+G            D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I damn near couldn`t pull the trigger I was shaking so much
   C majorC            G+G
I remember the smell of the gun powder well
   D MajorD             G+G
Papa lying on the living room floor

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


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

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