Chords for Daddy's Home 2003

[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] Daddy can you please take me to [G] the park?
_ _ [F] _
The [G] alley is busy.
_ Shhh. _
[C] _ _ _ [Em] _ [F] _ _ _
Writing you this letter just to let you know
[G] Even though throughout the years my feelings never [Am] showed
You were just a little girl when I fought for me [G] clean
I remember times I had no peace of [F] mind
You see I had to hustle cause I couldn't find work
[G] I did know that when I left that your feelings were hurt
[Em] Daddy please don't go the streets are bad
[F] And how did I explain that I had to be a man?
I'm risking my my feelings every hour of the [G] day
I always cruise around looking every single [Am] way
Just to take you to the park
I always said tomorrow [G] but I said that every day
Then I kick [D] it in the [F] volume
May I understand daddy only wants the [G] best
The day you were born I knew that I was [Em] blessed
Now I'm ready to change
I know it's the only [F] way let me wipe your tears
Cause your daddy's here to stay
[G] I got something that I wanna say
[C] _ Daddy's home and I'm [G] here [D] to stay
[C] Don't [G] need to cry cause I'm not going away
[C] _ Daddy's home [F] and I'm here to stay
It's a raid oh my god please don't take me away
[G] I wanna be with my family but I killed the man [Am] yesterday
Every song kept me up and your face showed fear
[G] I'm hanging with my daddy and I couldn't wipe your [F] tears
They shot me in the car and made me hop please don't cry
[G] They were taking away your daddy and you didn't know why
[Em] Let me go I'm a man and I wanna be free
[F] They found me guilty so they sent me to the crazy penitentiary
Now I'll never see you cause you hardly ever [G] visit
You had your kids in the other hand I missed it
[Am] Too many long years and I couldn't see you grow
[G] You're the only one I love but you didn't even [F] know
I look through my [G] letters to make [Dm] me feel [G] better
I can tell your little tears dried up on my [Em] letters
I miss you daddy cause now I'm broke
[F] And times are getting hard when your daddy's never home
[G] I got something that I wanna say
[C] _ Daddy's home [A] and I'm here to stay
Don't [G] need to cry cause I'm not going away
[C] _ _ Daddy's home [F] and I'm here to stay
I'm sorry little me how that I chose this route
[G] I didn't realize what this life was all about
[Am] I've waited for this moment for so long
[G] And I don't know how I lasted feeling strong
[F] And now I'm standing by your side and I'm here to stay
[G] I'm never gonna let anyone take you [Em] away
Forgive what I did cause I was never there
[F] You just gotta know that I always cared
I missed it all your first day in school
[G] And every single birthday man I played the [Am] fool
How could I have been so blind
[G] The love I was looking for was there all the [F] time
I see your face and you cry
[G] I feel the swelling from my chest from deep [Em] inside
Querida you're my angel, the girl of my [F] dreams
Even though when I pass I did some crazy things
And [Cm] finally daddy's [Bb] here to wipe your tears away
[G] Put your hand on my [D] shoulder cause daddy's here to [C] stay
Mi _ [G] Preciosa
[Dm] I [A] _
_ got something [G] that I wanna say
_ [C] Daddy's home [F] and I'm here to stay
[Cm] No need to [G] cry cause I'm not going away [C] Daddy, daddy
Daddy's home and I'm [Bm] here to [C] stay
This [G] is dedicated to all the homeboys that [Dm] haven't seen their kids
[C] For one reason or another incarcerated
[F] The little kids suffered man
For the choices that we make in our vida
[G] They're the ones that pay [Am] the cost
Sometimes we don't figure [G] that out till a lot later till it's too late
[F] And some of us will only see our [G] kids grow up through glass
I'm [Em] visiting hours
That ain't no kind [F] of life
Just _ remember just take advantage of the very [G] minute you got with them _
[Am] Believe me
Believe me on that
[G] _ Next time you step out of that [F] door
It'll be the last time they ever see you
[G] _ _ _ _
