F F (chord) Fadd9 F6

When I come home baby

And I’ve been working all night long

I put my daughter on my knee, and she says

“Daddy what’s wrong?”

She whispers in my ear so sweet

You know what she says? She says

Chorus:

——-

More simple here, just one bar with C then three with Dm. But Dmadd9 also comes in some times.

C, Dm, Dmadd9

”Daddy you’re a fool to cry

You’re a fool to cry

And it makes me wonder why.”

Second verse:

————-

The chord pattern changes a bit. The F bar is a random mix of F (chord), Fadd9 and

F6, the A# bar goes as A#6, A#7M A#6, A#7M.

You know, I got a woman

And she lives in the poor part of town

and I go see her sometimes

And we make love, so fine

I put my head on her shoulder

She says, “Tell me all your troubles.”

You know what she says? She says

(Chorus)

“Daddy you’re a fool to cry

You’re a fool to cry

and it makes me wonder why.”
