Papa Was A Rolling Stone Chords
...PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE... by The Temptations
------------------------------...................
*from 'All Directions' (1972)*
Verse 1:
Em
It was the third of September;
Am
That day I'll always re-member,
Em
'Cos that was the day that my daddy died.
Em
I never got a chance to see him;
Never heard nothin' but,
Am
Bad things about him.
Mama I'm depending on you;
Em
To tell me the truth.
Chorus 1:
(Spoken):
Mama just hung her head and said, "Son...
Em
Papa was a rollin' stone;
Am
Wherever he laid his hat, was his home.
Em
And when his died;
Am Em
All he left us was a-lone."
Verse 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/temptations/papa_was_a_rolling_stone_crd.html ]
Em
Hey, mama, I heard Papa,
Call himself a jack of all trades;
Tell me, is that what sent Papa,
Am
To an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg,
Em
Borrow or steal to pay his bills.
Hey, Mama, folks say;
Papa was never much on thinkin';
Spend most of his time,
Am
Chasin' women and drinkin'!
Mama I'm depending on you;
Em
To tell me the truth.
Chorus 2:
(Spoken):
Mama just hung her head and said, "Son...
Em
Papa was a rollin' stone;
Am
Wherever he laid his hat, was his home.
Em
And when his died;
Am Em
All he left us was a-lone."
(Repeat to Fade)
