VERSE:
 Dm
Papa used to grab my Mama 
by the hair
      Dm                   
He\'d cuss her like a devil 
          D
while I stood right there
      Dm
He\'d punch her in the face and 
leave her crying on the floor
     Dm  N.C.                  
But Papa ain\'t beating on Mama 
         D  Dm  D  Dm
no mo-o-ore
 Dm
Everybody knows Papa had 
a wondering eye
     Dm                           
He\'d hit the hoochie coochie club 
      D
and drink the bar dry
    Dm
He liked to run around with 
a hand full of hoes
     Dm  N.C.           
But Papa ain\'t cheating 
                 D  Dm
on Mama no mo-o-ore

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

CHORUS:
      C                G     
When Papa walked in I lifted 
              D  D Dsus4 D
that 12 Gauge up
   C                            G     
I damn near couldn\'t pull the trigger 
                  D  Dsus4  D
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            
Well Papa ain\'t cheating 
           D
on Mama no more
 G   N.C.                  
Papa ain\'t beating on Mama 
         D  Dm  D  Dm
no mo-o-ore

VERSE:
  Dm
I get to see Mama bout 
every other week
     Dm                     
The world on her shoulders, 
       D
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.          
And Papa ain\'t hurting 
                 D  Dm  D  Dm
my Mama no mo-o-ore
