Chords for Eminem - Mockingbird (Lyrics)

_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[D] Yeah, _ [Em] _ _ I know sometimes _ [C] things may not always make [A] sense to you right now, [Em] _ _ but hey, _ _ what
did [C] that alias tell you? _ _ _
[D] Straighten up little [Em] soldier. _ _ _
Stiffen up that upper lip.
[Am] _ _ _ _
[D] Crying about it.
_ [Em] You got me. _
Haley, I know you miss [C] your mom, and I know you miss your [D] dad when I'm gone, but I'm trying
[Em] to give you the life that I never had.
I can see you're [C] sad, even when you smile, even when [A] you laugh.
I can see [Em] it in your eyes.
Deep inside, you wanna cry, cause you're [C] scared.
I ain't there.
Daddy's with you in [D] your prayers.
No more [Em] crying, wiping tears.
Daddy's here, no more nightmares.
We gon' pull [C] together through it.
We gon' do it.
[D] Lainey Uncle's crazy, ain't [Em] he?
Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it.
What do we [C] got in this world?
When it spins, when [D] it swirls, when it [Em] whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
looking [C] puzzled in a daze.
I know it's [D] confusing you.
Daddy's [Em] always on the move.
Mama's always on the news.
I try to keep [C] you sheltered from it, but somehow it [D] seems the harder that I try [Em] to do that,
the more it becomes. _ _

_ _ [C] Little baby, don't you [D] cry.
Everything's gonna [Em] be alright.
Slippin' that up on that box, little [C] lady.
I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll hold ya, [Em] all night.
I know mommy's not here right [C] now, and we don't know [D] why.
We feel how [Em] we feel inside.
It may seem a little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I [D] promise mama's [Em] gon' be alright.
_ It's funny, I remember [C] back one year when daddy had no money, [D] mommy wrapped the [Em] Christmas
presents up and stuck them under the tree until some of them [C] were crummy, cause daddy couldn't buy [A] them.
I'll never forget [Em] that Christmas.
I sat up the whole night crying, cause daddy felt like [C] a bum.
See, daddy had a job, [D] but his job was to keep [Em] the food on the table for you and mom, and
at the time, [C] every house that we lived in either [D] kept getting broken [Em] into and robbed.
I shot up on the block, and your mom [C] was saving money for you in a jar, [D] trying to start a
piggy [Em] bank for you so you could go to college.
Almost had a thousand [C] dollars, until someone broke in [A] and stole it, and I know [Em] it hurt
so bad it broke your mama's heart, and it seemed like [C] everything was just starting to fall [D] apart.
Mama and dad [Em] was arguing a lot, so mama moved back on to Thomas [Am] and his flat, one [G] bedroom
[D] apartment, and dad moved back [Em] to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara, and that's when
daddy [C] went to California with his CD [D] and met Dr.
Dre, [Em] and flew you and mama out to see
me, but daddy had [C] to work, you and mama had to leave [A] me, then you started seeing [Em] daddy
on the TV, and mama didn't like it, [C] and you and Lainey were too young to [D] understand it.
Papa was [Em] a rolling stone, mama developed a habit, and it all [C] happened too fast for either
one of us [D] to grab it.
Now I'm just sorry [Em] you was there and had to witness it firsthand, cause all I ever [C] wanted
to do was just make you [D] proud.
Now I'm sitting [Em] in this empty house, just reminiscing, looking at [Am] your baby pictures,
[C] it just trips me out [D] to see how much you both [Em] have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now.
Wow, [C] guess you pretty much are, and [D] daddy's still here, Lainey [Em] I'm talking to you too, _
daddy's still here, I like [C] the sound of that chair, it's got a ring [D] to it don't it, shh,
[Em] mama's only gone for the moment.
Now, little [C] baby, don't you [D] cry, everything's gonna [Em] be alright, slipping out of bullet
box, little [C] lady, I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll hold ya [Em] through the night, I know mommy's
not here right [C] now, and we don't know [D] why, we feel how we [Em] feel inside, it may seem a
little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I [D] promise, mama's [Em] gonna be alright, and if you ask me
do, daddy's gonna [C] buy you a _ [D] mockingbird, I'm looking [Em] for the world, I'mma buy a diamond
ring for you, [C] I'mma sing for you, I'll do [D] anything for you to [Em] see you smile, and if
the mockingbird don't [Am] sing and that ring [C] don't shine, [D] I'mma break that [Em] birdie's neck, I'll
go back to the jewelers [C] who sold it to ya, and make them [D] eat every carrot, don't [Em] fuck with dad. _ _
