Guitar Capo 3rd Fret

Intro : C Em7 Am7

Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
What did he [F/G]do it for
It never made it through our door
He drank the whole [F/G]week away
And what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don’t start to cry
Let’s [F/G]give him another try

Pick up the telephone
Tell him you [F/G]want him home
To sit and watch the evenings pass
And readin’ the [F/G]Leaves of Grass

I’m caught in a closing door
It’s pinning me to the floor
Now mama don’t start to cry
Let’s [F/G]give him another try

[F/G]
I’m caught in a closing door
It’s pinning me to the floor
Now mama don’t start to cry
Let’s [F/G]give him another [Bb/C]try

When we’re [F/C]old and gray
And the things we say
are the [G/C]things we really [Bb/C]mean
So [F/C]why cause a scene
When things ain’t what they seem
‘Cause the end result’s the same
Now what can a family say
There must be a better way
Now mama don’t start to cry
Let’s [F/G]give him another try
