Momma gets by while papa gets high

  She makes enough to raise a family

She's working all day to bring in the pay 
      D                      E 
She's taking good care of me 
D                        E 
Giving me every opportunity 
Am                   Db 
And if it rains, she never complains 
      Am                                  Db

Papa gets back and heads for the sack

As soon as he steps inside the kitchen door 
    D                                     E 
But she doesn't mind, she's seen it all before 
 

 
D                                      E 
She doesn't care, she's got her own philosophy of life 
D                                E 
It wasn't too long ago that she agreed to b his wife 
    D                                 E 
And even though h's complicated, she takes it in her stride 
D                                     E 
What are his silly faults compared to what she feels inside?

She loves him 
    Amaj7                            A7 
She loves him with all her heart and soul 
                  D    E 
All her heart and soul 
  E         A 
Because she loves him 
    Amaj7                            A7 
She loves him with all her heart and soul

All her heart and soul
