CHORDS: Mama Shakers – When My Man Is Out Of Town Chords

[Intro]
      G
Last morning in the
rain my man
 Em
left with a train,
  C
leaving me for
   G
a day.
    G
We said goodbye
with an
Em
awful sigh, but
C7
inside I’m glad
he is
 B7
away.
        Am
’Cause when I’m
alone
   Em
I jump
to the phone,
 Am
calling up my girl
  Em
friends.
    Am
We hang around
in bars,
     Em
 we drink
and smoke cigars
 and
 C7
play all sorts
    B7   D7
of games.




[Verse 1]
          G
Because when my man is
 out of town,
               E7
he thinks I’m lonely.
               A7
He thinks I’m lonely
      D7
 when he isn’t
 G             D7
here, yes, my baby
dear.
  G
When my man is out
of town,
               E7
he thinks I’m lonely.
               A7
He thinks I’m lonely
     D7        G
when he isn’t here.
          B7
Because when he is
not
 around, he thinks
          Em
I cry my heart out,
       C7
that I cry every day
when he’s
  B7            D7
away, and I display my
 pain.
      G
But when my man is
out of
                 E7
town, I’m never lonely,
           A7
I’m never lonely when
D7        G    D7
he isn’t here.

[Bridge]
  Am
When he is on a trip
I
 don’t miss him, not
even
   C        B7
a tidy tiny bit.
   Am
I wouldn’t even care
if he would never
come back home, that
      F#7         B7
he decided to be gone.
Am
He is such a joker,
like my
 lady who knows just
C7             B7
how to get me high.
Am
They have so much
 fun,
 much
more than we will
 ever
 see,
 I think
    F#
he might not be
the one,
         C   B E7
 one for me.



[Verse 3]
         A
Because when my
 man is
out of town, he
             F#  F#7
 thinks I’m lonely.
               B7
He thinks I’m lonely
     E7
when he isn’t
  A             E7
 here, yes, my baby
dear.
        A
'Cause when my man is
 out of town, he
            F#  F#7
thinks I’m lonely.
               B7
He thinks I’m lonely
 when
E7        A
he isn’t here.
         C#7
Because when he is
 not
 around, he thinks
I am a shade of
 F#
broken,
          D7
that he breaks my
little heart,
              C#7  E7
 when we’re apart.
         A
Because when my man
           F#
is out of town,
           F#
I’m never lonely,
           B7
I’m never lonely when
E7        A    Am D7
he isn’t here.



[Coda]
   G
I never stay in
drinking
  Em
clear as a gin,
  C
fooling around all
 G
night.
  G
I do as I please,
’cause I
 Em
find that I don’t
C7
even miss to hold him
  B7
 tight.
      Am
’Cause he doesn’t know,
 I
Em
spent all his dough,
 Am           Em
 paying every flaw.
    Am
We don’t even care, if
   Em
it all is out there,
      C          D
’cause me and my girls
    G    D#   G   D G
get wild.
