Transpose up
(INTRO)
Sorry, y’all, my mamaw called me
I’ll, I’ll be right back, hello?

G
A
(VER)
A
It was always
D
hotter than the grease
She
Em
used to fry that
D
chicken
G
Smelled like Marlboro Reds
And all the
A
butter from her biscuits
And that
D
Lincoln in the driveway
Circa
Em
1982
D
Was on the
G
shiny side of rusty
And on the
A
paler side of blue
G
Cussin’ and complainin’
Weren’t
A
allowed at
D
Mamaw’s
house
(CHO)
If every
G
nightstand had a Bible
Every
D
front porch had a
A
swing
If every
G
backyard had a garden
Every
D
front door had a
A
screen
Well,
Bm
maybe this crazy
A
world
Would straighten
G
up and slow on
D
down
G
If every
A
town had a
D
Mamaw’s
house
Bm
D
G
(VER)
She’d
D
ask if I was hungry
Bm
every thirty seconds
And
G
say things like “hellfire
” “Tar
A
nation,” and “I reckon’s”
It’s
D
where I spent my summers
And
Bm
she put me to work
Shellin’
G
peas and shuckin’ corn
Un
A
til my fingers hurt
No
G
tellin’ who I’da been
With
A
out Mamaw’s
D
house
(CHO)
If every
G
nightstand had a Bible
Every
D
front porch had a
A
swing
If every
G
backyard had a garden
Every
D
front door had a
A
screen
Well,
Bm
maybe this crazy
A
world
Would straighten
G
up and slow on
D
down
G
If every
A
town had a
D
Mamaw’s
house
(BRI)
Yeah, and
G
if they did, when I punched the clock
To
A
night, I know right where I’d
G
be
G
I’d walk in and get a big old hug
And a
A
bigger glass of tea
(CHO)
If every
G
nightstand had a Bible
Every
D
front porch had a
A
swing
If every
G
backyard had a garden
Every
D
front door had a
A
screen
Well,
Bm
maybe this crazy
A
world
Would straighten
G
up and slow on
D
down
G
If every
A
town had a
D
Mamaw’s
house
Yeah,

maybe this crazy
A

Would straighten

If every
