That Boy
By JJ Grey and Mofro
The verse is the same throughout 
 Arepeating  E   Aprogression 
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
EEverybody's lAooking  EYou're the Atalk all over Etown A  
EWhen y'all Awalk the street 
EHe's gAot a smile you got a fErown A  
EToo many folks taAlking about what you ought Eto do 
And not wAhat you gonna Edo  
Still Eain't rAight Efor that man tAo get on top of Ayou 
AThat Boy don't love G- He's afraid of you 
            E   Aetc                                                             
 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 
AThat Boy don't love G- He's afraid of you 
          E   Aetc
 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 
 AThat Boy don't love G- He's afraid of you 
 That Boy don't love - He's afraid of you
