[Verse 1]
     D                               F#
To - day I stumbled from my bed with thunder crashing in my head,
       G                                  D        C/D
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       A
Kept crying out, ringing in my ears
 
[Chorus]
N.C.       D *                         Em    Em7  A
Don't cry, Daddy!  Daddy, please don't cry,
       G *                     A
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy,
     D *                 G *
To - gether we'll find a brand new mommy,
D      N.C.
Daddy, Daddy, please, laugh again,
A7     N.C.
Daddy, ride us on your back again,
    G   F#m  Em *  A7            D
Oh, D - ad - dy,   please, don't cry

[Verse  2]
D                                F#
Why are children always first to feel the pain and hurt the worst?
     G                                          D       C/D
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        A
And, I wonder, will it be the same to - night?
 
[Chorus]
N.C.       D *                         Em    Em7  A
Don't cry, Daddy!  Daddy, please don't cry,
       G *                     A
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy,
     D *                 G *
To - gether we'll find a brand new mommy,

Daddy, ride us on your back again,
