Papa Was a Rolling Stone

[Verse 1]
 F#m                                                      Bm
  It was the third of September; that day I'll always re-member,
                                      F#m
 'Cos that was the day, that my daddy died.
 F#m
  I never got a chance to see him;
                         Bm
 Never heard nothin' but bad things about him.
                                            F#m
 Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth.
 
 [Chorus 1]
 (Spoken):
  Mama just hung her head and said; "son…
 
 F#m                                              Bm
  Papa was a rollin' stone; wherever he laid his hat, was his home.
     F#m             Bm                   F#m
 And when his died, all he left us was a-lone".
 
 [Verse 2]
              F#m
 Hey, Mama, I heard Papa call himself a jack of all trades;
                                       Bm
 Tell me, is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
                                             F#m
 Folks say Papa would beg borrow or steal to pay his bills.
 Hey, Mama, folks say Papa was never much on thinkin';
                                Bm
 Spend most of his time chasin' women and drinkin'!
                                            F#m
 Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth.
 
 [Chorus 2]
 (Spoken)
  Mama just hung her head and said; "son…
 
 F#m                                              Bm
  Papa was a rollin' stone; wherever he laid his hat, was his home.
     F#m             Bm                   F#m
 And when his died, all he left us was a-lone".
