Am                        C      G          D
Mama why does he treat me so cold, so cold, so cold
Am                 C       G       D
Why do I feel so old, so old, so old
     Am                      C       G        D
how long has he treated me unkind, unkind, unkind
     Am                    C          G        D
or have I always been so blind, so blind, so blind


[Chorus]

Am                                 C                   G                 D
what about all of the plans we've made, the plans we've made, Lord I’ve prayed
Am              C              G              D
now I am soooo afraid, I’m so afraid, I’m so afraid


[Chorus]

I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
Am                       F            G      Am        G
I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
Am         G     Am        G   D   G   Asus2  Asus2  Asus2  Asus2
of a living man, of a living man

Am                          C                G                 D
I'm gonna need someplace to go, someplace to go, someplace to go
Am                                C                G                 D
he's no longer some kind woman's son, kind woman's son, kind woman's son
Am                             C              G            D
mama I think that I had better run, I better run, I better run
