CHORDS: Mama Shakers – When My Man Is Out Of Town Chords

[Intro]
      G  
Last morning in the 
rain my man 
 Em 
left with a train, 
  C            
leaving me for 
   G
a day.
    G       
We said goodbye 
with an 
Em              
awful sigh, but 
C7    
inside I’m glad 
he is 
 B7
away.
        Am   
’Cause when I’m 
alone 
   Em 
I jump 
to the phone, 
 Am                
calling up my girl 
  Em
friends.
    Am    
We hang around 
in bars,
     Em
 we drink 
and smoke cigars
 and 
 C7            
play all sorts 
    B7   D7
of games.




[Verse 1]
          G   
Because when my man is
 out of town, 
               E7
he thinks I’m lonely.
               A7      
He thinks I’m lonely
      D7    
 when he isn’t 
 G             D7
here, yes, my baby 
dear.
  G      
When my man is out 
of town, 
               E7
he thinks I’m lonely.
               A7    
He thinks I’m lonely 
     D7        G
when he isn’t here.
          B7  
Because when he is
not
 around, he thinks 
          Em
I cry my heart out,
       C7       
that I cry every day 
when he’s 
  B7            D7
away, and I display my
 pain.
      G      
But when my man is 
out of 
                 E7
town, I’m never lonely,
           A7         
I’m never lonely when 
D7        G    D7
he isn’t here.

[Bridge]
  Am            
When he is on a trip 
I
 don’t miss him, not 
even 
   C        B7
a tidy tiny bit.
   Am          
I wouldn’t even care 
if he would never 
come back home, that 
      F#7         B7
he decided to be gone.
Am     
He is such a joker, 
like my
 lady who knows just 
C7             B7
how to get me high.
Am   
They have so much
 fun,
 much 
more than we will
 ever
 see,
 I think 
    F#    
he might not be 
the one,
         C   B E7
 one for me.



[Verse 3]
         A 
Because when my
 man is 
out of town, he
             F#  F#7
 thinks I’m lonely.
               B7 
He thinks I’m lonely 
     E7   
when he isn’t
  A             E7
 here, yes, my baby 
dear.
        A        
\'Cause when my man is
 out of town, he 
            F#  F#7
thinks I’m lonely.
               B7 
He thinks I’m lonely
 when 
E7        A
he isn’t here.
         C#7
Because when he is
 not
 around, he thinks 
I am a shade of 
 F#
broken,
          D7  
that he breaks my 
little heart,
              C#7  E7
 when we’re apart.
         A    
Because when my man 
           F#
is out of town, 
           F#
I’m never lonely,
           B7         
I’m never lonely when 
E7        A    Am D7
he isn’t here.

[Coda]
   G         
I never stay in 
drinking 
  Em  
clear as a gin, 
  C                
fooling around all 
 G
night.
  G    
I do as I please, 
’cause I 
 Em  
find that I don’t 
C7                   
even miss to hold him
  B7
 tight.
      Am     
’Cause he doesn’t know,
 I 
Em    
spent all his dough,
 Am           Em
 paying every flaw.
    Am        
We don’t even care, if 
   Em
it all is out there, 
      C          D     
’cause me and my girls 
    G    D#   G   D G
get wild.
