Tom : F
Intro: C Em7 Am7
C Em7 Am7
Hey, Daddy just lost his pay
Fmaj9 F/G C
What did he do it for
Em7 Am7
It never made it through our door
Fmaj9 F/G Am
He drank the whole week away
Em Fmaj7
And what can a family say
[Refrão]
D Gmaj7
There must be a better way
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Now mama don't start to cry
F/G C
Let's give him another try
[Próxima Parte]
Em7 Am7
Pick up the telephone
Fmaj9 F/G C
Tell him you want him home
Em7 Am7
To sit and watch the evenings pass
Fmaj9 F/G Am
And readin' the Leaves of Grass
[Trecho 2x]
Em Fmaj7
I'm caught in a closing door
D Gmaj7
It's pinning me to the floor
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
Now mama don't start to cry
F/G C
Let's give him another try
F/C
When we're old and gray
C G/C Bb/C
And the things we say are the things we really mean
F/C
So why cause a scene
C
When things ain't what they seem
Em7 Am
'Cause the end result's the same
Em Fmaj7
Now what can a family say
[Refrão] (repetir)
Em7 Am7 Fmaj9 F/G C Em7 Am7 Fmaj9 F/G C
