[Verse 1]
 
A
My momma used to tell me son you better get your work done
                             E
You’re daddy’s comin home at five                                                                          
E
And if you ain’t all through 
E
With the chores you gotta do
                      A
Boy I’m gonna tan you alive
 
A
I was glued to the radio listening to 
                            D
My hero’s sing them sad old songs
                       A
Singin ‘em sadder than one car funeral                             
E                 A
Nobody sings like Jones
 
 
[Chorus]
 
              D
I’d take that old kitchen broom up to my room 
    A
and play it like an old guitar
   B
Or sit out on the porch trying to sing 
            E
like George dream about becoming a star 
A
Well the things I never did when I was 
                             D
just a kid made me what I am today
                                     A
You see momma used to whip me with a George Jones album 
E                       A
that’s why I sing, this way.

[Verse 2]
 
 A
So I ended up in Nashville working at a sawmill 
                    E
just to be close to stars 
 
But I got a little broke but I couldn’t ask my folks
                           A
so I had to hock my old guitar
 
Well I still hang around Tooties Orchid Lounge
                                D
thinkin he’ll walk through that door
                                 A
But a voice in my mind said your wastin’ time 
      E                     A
Cause George don’t drink no more.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          D
I used to take that old kitchen broom up to my room 
    A
and play it like an old guitar
   B
Or sit out on the porch trying to sing 
            E
like George dream about becoming a star 
A
Well the things I never did when I was 
                             D
just a kid made me what I am today
                                     A
You see momma used to whip me with a George Jones album 
E                       A
that’s why I sing, this way.

[Chorus]
 
A
Well the things I never did when I was 
                             D
just a kid made me what I am today
                                     A
You see momma used to whip me with a George Jones album 
E                       A
that’s why I sing, this way. 
 
 D                            A
Momma used to whip me with a George Jones album 
E                       A
that’s why I sing, this way.
