1. Today I stumbled from my bed with thunder crashing in my head,

                  G                                               D       - C

    and my pillow still wet from last night’s tears.

            D                                     F#

    And as I think of giving up, a voice inside my coffee-cup

              G                                    C      - A7

    kept crying out, ringing in my ears.

 

                   D                                         Em   - A

Don’t cry, Daddy, Daddy, please, don’t cry,

              G                                A

daddy, you’ve still got me and little Tommy.

      D                            G

Together we’ll find a brand new mommy,

  G                                  A

Daddy, Daddy, please, laugh, again,

   A                                 A7                      G - F#m - Em       A                 D

Daddy, ride us on your back again, oh, Da...............ddy, please, don’t cry.

 

+  D - F - G - D   - C - D - C

 

      D                                              F#

2. Why are children always first to feel the pain and hurt the worst,

             G                                                      D       - C

    it’s cruel, but somehow it just don’t seem right.

                 D                                       F#

    ’Cause every time I cry, I know, it hurts my little children so,

               G                                           C      - A7

    and I wonder, will it be the same tonight ?

 

+  CHORUS    +  C

 

              G - F#m - Em        A                D

+  Oh, Da................ddy, please, don’t cry.       + G - D
