She was the best thing that ever happened to him
C D
G
in and out of trouble for most his life
D
he packed a gun and he liked to fight
Am
now he\’s in a battle that he just can\’t win

\’cause he left a man for dead on the bar room floor
C
Am
and all she could say when
C
the sheriff came through the door

How am I gonna make it

All he left was his last name

a little boy and some bills to pay
Am
It was hard, but they made due
C D
G
she worked her fingers to the bone
D
to raise him right and give him that home
Am
you know that one she never knew
C D
Am
and pretty soon that boy he became a man
C

and as she passed
C
he just held her

hand and he said
[Chorus]
G
How am I gonna make it

without you
Am
I\’m not gonna make it

without you

[Verse]
Em
Well they took her down
C
and they put her in the ground
G
It was a Tuesday afternoon

and when she was alone
C
he went down to that stone
G
and he said mama, mama thank you
D
G
the boy joined the Army

to fight for his country

\’cause that\’s what he thought he was supposed to do
C D
G
and now he\’s on the front line
D
he might not make it this time
Am
because all hell, it\’s about to break loose
C D
Am
he looks over to his left
C
and to his right
Am
then he looks up
C
he looks to the
D
sky and he says
[Chorus]
G
How am I gonna make it
D
without you
Am
I\’m not gonna make it
C
without you
D
G
all my life I\’ve showed you
D
and I\’ve doubted you
Am
I\’m not gonna make it without you
C D
Am
well the lord looked down
C
and he smiled
Am
I said the lord looked down
C
and he smiled
D
and he took him away
G
D
back home to stay
