[Verse 1]
  C                     C/B
I still can remember Pa coming home drunk
         F             G          C
With the boys from the Union Hall station
         C                       C/B
And it's hard to believe all the words that I read
       F         G               Am
We are living in God's favourite nation
      F                        Cmaj7/G
And I knew he was ill from the size of his pills
       F             D/F#          G
But he choked on the preacher's salvation
      C                            Em          Am
And I know that his blood it still flows in my veins
     F             G             C
As I fall for each blue-eyed temptation

[Chorus]
        F                   Cmaj7/G
And the razorback woman who stood by his side
   F          G         C
Is skinny and fixing to die
       F                  Cmaj7/G
Oh the razorback woman is calling me home
    F
And she cries
G7
Oh my God how she cries

[Verse 2]
      C                    C/B
I was only fourteen and my Dad he was mean
         F             G        C
When his face shined a river of sweat
    C                          C/B
Oh, he started yelling "You'll go straight to hell"
            F              G              Am
And "You're young and your ears are still wet"
         F                     Cmaj7/G
When the other young boys were enjoying their toys
   F          D/F#      G
He gave me my first cigarette
    C                    Em             Am
And I'd like to say that these were the days
        F                 G        C
That my sprung lungs will never forget

[Chorus]
        F                   Cmaj7/G
And the razorback woman who stood by his side
   F          G         C
Is skinny and fixing to die
       F                  Cmaj7/G
Oh the razorback woman is calling me home
    F
And she cries
G7
Oh my God how she cries
