Capo: 3

   Am
      The man is gone
   E
      And mama says
   C                    F
      She can't live without him
   Am
      The man is gone
   E
      And mama says
   C                     F
      There is no life without him

Am               E
   She has no one to stop her tears
D                     B7
   A man who heals and calms down her fears
Am                     E
   She needs to wake up in her man's arms
D                 B7
   And to be loved just like a child
C      B7
   Ooh ooh
Dm     Am
   Ooh ooh

   Am
      The man is gone
   E
      And mama says
   C                     F
      That she can't live without him
   Am
      The man is gone
   E
      And mama says
   C                     F
      There is no life without him

Am                   E
   How can I tell her the way I feel?
D                          B7
   I'm afraid she'd be hurt and sink
Am                 E
   It pisses me off, it drives me mad
D                        B7
   That she lets herself feel so bad
C      B7
   Ooh ooh
Dm     Am
   Ooh ooh
Am   E    C    F  (Em)
(...)
Am   E    C    F  (Em)
(...)

   Am
      The man is gone
   E
      And mama says
   C                     F
      That she can't live without him
   Am
      The man is gone
   E
      And mama says
   C                  F               C
      There is no life without him
