[Intro]
Cmaj7 Am Em Cmaj7 Am Em
[Verse 1]
C So tell me momma Am Em Since you say I'm just like him C I've heard of all the hell he'd raise Am Way back in his younger days Em Still you stood by him through thick and thin Cmaj7 Am Yeah I look like him, talk like him drink like him Em Fight like him and when I smile you say I've got his grin
[Chorus]
C Am Em G Em So tell me momma since you say I'm just like him F What did he do G What did he say C F To change your mind and make you want to stay F All she told me she was leaving G She never gave a reason C I drink her off my mind Am But even whiskey don't do jack Dm So I'm down here on my knees C Am Praying that she ain't leaving town F G So tell me momma what did daddy do C Am Em To make you turn that Pontiac around
[Verse 2]
C Am Em So tell me momma when the - hit the - fan that night C I heard you screamed "you've had enough" Am You got my sister, packed our stuff Em You wiped your tears and said everything will be all right C But you yelled at him C You cussed at him Am You swore to him Am You're done with him Em You said you'll make the bed you're sleeping in
[Chorus]
C Am Em G Em So tell me momma since you say I'm just like him F What did he do G What did he say C F To change your mind and make you want to stay F All she told me she was leaving G She never gave a reason C I drink her off my mind Am But even whiskey don't do jack Dm So I'm down here on my knees C Am Praying that she ain't leaving town F G So tell me momma what did daddy do C To make you turn that Pontiac around and round
[Bridge]
Am There she goes, taillights rolling Am Down a red dirt road Em She never tapped the brakes Em She's long gone with the wind C Round and round there she goes Am Taillights rolling down a red dirt road Em She never tapped the brakes
[Chorus]
G Since you say I'm just like him F What did he do G What did he say C F To change your mind and make you want to stay F All she told me she was leaving G She never gave a reason C I drink her off my mind Am But even whiskey don't do jack Dm So I'm down here on my knees C Am Praying that she ain't leaving town F G So tell me momma what did daddy do C Am To make you turn that Pontiac around
[Outro]
F G So tell me momma what did daddy do C Am To make you turn that Pontiac around Em What did daddy do C Am Em C So tell me momma since you say I'm just like him
