Verse 1: (verse riff)
Hush, little girl
Sweet baby don't cry, tonight
Daddy is here and he'll sing you a 
soft lullaby, tonight

Pre-chorus:
Am           C              
Why can't it all be like it was 
G     D
before?
Am           C                    
How can I explain why mommy's not 
G        D
here, anymore?

Chorus:
       G           D       
'Cause daddy likes porno and 
  Em         C
ten-dollar whores
G          D          Em         
Daddy gets wasted and robs liquor 
 C
stores
G           D        Em          
Daddy likes rubbing against 
  C           G   D
little boys on the bus
Continúa después del anuncio
        Em         C          G  
I think that's why mommy left us
D  Em

C          G  D  D
Mommy left us

Verse 2: (verse riff)
Hush, little girl
There is no reason to fret, tonight
Don't mind the smoke, daddy just 
wants to forget, tonight

Pre-chorus:
Am           C              
Soon it will all be like it was 
G     D
before
Am  C                     G     
Any minute, she will walk 
             D     D
through that front door

Chorus:
    G           D         Em     
But daddy plays poker and drinks 
        C
lots of beer
G             D          Em     
Then he wants sex that involves 
        C
mommy's rear
G         D            Em       
Daddy has sores on his naughty 
     C           G    D
parts oozing with pus
        Em         C          G   
I think that's why mommy left us
D  G  D


Bridge:
C            D
Please don't cry
  C          D
I swear I'll try
   C       Am      D
To be here by your side

Verse 3:
G           D          Em       
Right after daddy gets home from
     C
 the bar
G          D          Em         
Visits his bookee and steals a new 
  C
car
      G            D              
He'll drive to the strip club and 
Em       C               G      D
if daddy plays his cards right
            Em            C   
He'll bring home your new mommy 
    G
tonight
