That Boy
By JJ Grey and Mofro
Transcribed by Slobrien (aka Mike O)
The verse is the same throughout
a repeating E a progression
with a treble string open strum after the
A chord on the way back to E
cool funky rhythm to it Pretty easy to figure out
all chords are approximateto the lyrics here

E a E a E a
Everybody's looking You're the talk all over town
E a
When y'all walk the street
E a E a
He's got a smile you got a frown
E a E
Too many folks talking about what you ought to do
a E
And not what you gonna do
E a E a a
Still ain't right for that man to get on top of you
a G
That Boy don't love - He's afraid of you
E a etc
We heard he slapped you around
And I know that shit ain't right
One minute y'all get along
And then the next you fuss and fight
Sugar wouldn't melt in his mouth according to you
Next day we see you girl you all black and blue
a G
That Boy don't love - He's afraid of you
E a etc
Now your moments come
You've got to break out on your own
Girl you can't live in fear
Inside that place you call your home
It's time to turn him out turn him loose just walk away
He's just a mama's boy let him cry girl let him cry
a G
That Boy don't love - He's afraid of you
That Boy don't love - He's afraid of you
