Song
The original song is in D standard, but he plays it live in standard tuning for years.
It's much easier not to tune down.
I recommend to play the F chorus of the chorus this way:
e|-X-|
B|-1-|
G|-2-|
D|-3-|
A|-X-|
E|-X-|
So you can make a nice transition to the G (like he does, live)
Intro
Asus2 Asus2 Asus2 Asus2 x2
Verse
Mama why does he treat me so cold, so cold, so cold
Why do I feel so old, so old, so old
how long has he treated me unkind, unkind, unkind
or have I always been so blind, so blind, so blind
Chorus
I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
of a living man, of a living man
Verse
Why can't the times stay the same, stay the same, stay the same
now I am begging him to change, please change, please change
what about all of the plans we've made, the plans we've made, Lord I’ve prayed
now I am soooo afraid, I’m so afraid, I’m so afraid
Chorus
I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
of a living man, of a living man
Verse
why does he hurts me so, he hurts me so, he hurts me so
I'm gonna need someplace to go, someplace to go, someplace to go
he's no longer some kind woman's son, kind woman's son, kind woman's son
mama I think that I had better run, I better run, I better run
Chorus
I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
I'm the widow, I'm the widow, I'm the widow of a living man
of a living man, of a living man
