AI don′t love you anymore well that
D AEnded their fighting for good
AMom and daddy fought a war
D ABigger than any two countries could
AWas it mama's addiction or his cheating that killed them
D AWas it just the turn of a leaf?
ADaddies dying, pain pills and pride and
D A A ATaxes and people who leave

Sweet babies cry
ABut there's no one to tend to 'em
Bm'Cause mama′s too hi-i-igh
AAnd daddy′s too low in the grou-ou-ound
BmWell mama′s too hi-i-i-igh
AAnd daddy′s too low in the ground

[Verse]
A DSo I went out to the west when I turned seventeen
AAnd I married a girl
A DI swear I did everything that I could
AJust to give her the world
ABut she left in a shout one night
D AI guess a man doesn't fall too far from the tree
A'Cause I cheated in Barstow then died in Nevada
D A ANow she′s raising the kids without me
