C
Today I stumbled from my bed
E7
With thunder crashing in my head
F C A#
My pillow still wet from last night tears
C E7
And as I think of giving up a voice inside my coffee-cup
F A# G7
Kept crying out and ringing in my ears
C Dm G7
Don't cry daddy daddy please don't cry
F G7
Daddy you've still got me and little Tommy
C F
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
C
Daddy daddy please laugh again
G7
Daddy ride us on your back again
F Em Dm G7 C
Oh dad-dy please don't cry
Why are children always first
E7
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
F C A#
It's true but somehow it just don't seem right
C E7
Cause every time I cry I know it hurts my little children so
F A# G7
I wonder will it be the same tonight
Repeat #2
F Em Dm G7 C
Oh dad-dy please don't cry
