[Verse 1]
             G                    D
He got the scars of fire burning down his legs
          G                       D
That’s alright he don’t use em anyway
          G                   D
He got a two dollar bill from ma
       G                            D
Cause he’s still her man just the same
                     G
Just the same, lo-de-lo

[Verse 2]
      G                     D
She drives him to work on weekdays
             G                            D
Takes some pills and she lies around the place
         G            D
Waiting for Y & R to begin
      G                     D            G
She runs to the store for Sonomas and gin

[Chorus]
      C                Bb          Am
And though it’s been years since the accident
                G
He’s still her man
           C              G       A
Since the day that she followed the ambulance
          D             C           G
To her front door and found themm inside
           A
John Sr. died
       G
That night

[Verse 3]
     G                    D
Somehow little Johnny survived
           G                              D
Through flames the paramedics heard his cries
        G                     D
Day in day out it picks her apart
       G                    D               G
She’d send him away if she ever found the heart

D   G   D


[Chorus]
      C                Bb          Am
And though it’s been years since the accident
                G
He’s still her man
           C              G       A
Since the day that she followed the ambulance
          D             C            G
To her front door and loaded them inside
           A
That mama cried


[Outro]
           G                       A
So she’ll push him around for the rest of his life
           D                      G
Though he can’t say a word in return
   G                    A
A sick man’s mother, a dead man’s wife
       D                       G
She’s long out of lessons to learn
