Mockingbird Chords by Eminem

[N] _ [C] _ _ Yeah, _ [E] I know sometimes things [C] may not always make sense to you right [Em] now, but hey, [C] what
daddy always tell you, straighten [Em] up little soldier, _ stiffen up that upper lip, [C] what you crying about?
[Em] You got me.
Haley, I know [C] you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad when I'm gone, but I'm trying
to [E] give you the life that I never had.
I can see you're sad, [Cm] even when you smile, even when you laugh, I can see it [E] in your
eyes, deep inside you wanna cry, [C] cause you're scared, I ain't there, daddy's with you [D] in
your prayers, no more crying, [E] wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares, we gon'
pull together [C] through it, we gon' do it, [A] Lainey Uncle's crazy, ain't he?
[E] Yeah, but he loves you girl, and you better know it, what all we got [C] in this world, when
it spins, when it swirls, [E] when it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls,
[C] looking puzzled in a daze, I know it's [E] confusing you, daddy's always on the move, mama's always
on the news, I [C] try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it [D] seems the harder that I
try to [E] do that, the more it backfires on me, all the things growing [C] up as daddy, that he
had to see, daddy don't want you to [E] see, but you see just as much as he did, we did [C] not
plan it to be this way, your mother and me, but things have got so bad [E] between us, I don't
see us ever being together ever [C] again, like we used to be when we was teenagers, but then
of [E] course everything always happens for a [C] reason, I guess it was never meant to be,
but it's just something we have no [E] control over, and that's what destiny is, but no more
worries, rest your head and go to [D] sleep, maybe one day we'll [Em] wake up, and this'll all just
be a dream, now, [C] little baby don't you cry, [E] everything's gonna be alright, skipping that
up on the buck, little [B] lady, I told ya, daddy said I'll hold ya, [E] all night, I know mommy's
not [C] here right now, and we don't know why, [Em] we feel how we feel inside, it may seem a
little [C] crazy, pretty baby, but [D] I promise mama's [Em] gonna be alright, it's funny, [C] I remember back
one year when daddy had [D] no money, mommy wrapped the [Em] Christmas presents up and stuck em under
the tree, and [C] said some of em were from me, cause daddy [D] couldn't buy em, I'll never forget
that Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying, cause [C] daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had
a job, but his [Em] job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom, and at the time,
[C] every house that we lived in either kept getting broken [E] into and robbed, I shot up on [Em] the block
and your mom [C] was saving money for you in a jar, [Em] tryna start a piggy bank for you so you
could go to college, [C] almost had a thousand dollars, till someone broke in and stole it,
and I know [E] it hurt so bad it broke your mama's heart, [C] and it seemed like everything was just
starting to fall apart, [D] mom and dad was arguing [Em] a lot, so mama moved back on the charmers
in the flat, [C] one bedroom apartment, and dad moved back [Em] to the other side of 8 mile on
Novara, and that's when [C] daddy went to California with his CD, [D] and met Dr.
Dre, and flew [E] you
and mama out to see me, but daddy had to work, [C] you and mama had to leave me, then you started
seeing daddy [Em] on the TV, and mama didn't like it, and you and [C] Lainey were too young to understand
it, papa was a rolling [Em] stone, mama developed a habit, and it [C] all happened too fast for
either one of us to [D] grab it, I'm just sorry you were [Em] there and had to witness it, for
saying cause all I [C] ever wanted to do was just make you proud, now I'm [Em] sitting in this empty
house, just reminiscing, looking [C] at your baby pictures, it just tricked me out to [D] see how
much you both have grown, it's [E] almost like you're sisters now, [C] wow, I guess you pretty
much are, and daddy's still here, Lainey I'm talking [Em] to you too, daddy's still here, I
[C] like the sound of that chair, it's got a ring to [D] it don't it, shh, [Em] mama's only gone
for the moment, now watch [C] little baby don't you cry, [D] everything's gonna be [E] alright, skipping
that old bully bus, little lady, [C] I told ya, daddy said I'll hold ya through the [E] night,
I know mommy's not here [C] right now, and we don't know why, we feel [Em] how we feel inside,
it may seem a little crazy, pretty [C] baby, but I [D] promise mama's gonna be [Em] alright, and if
you ask me too, daddy's [C] gonna buy you a [D] mockingbird, I'm looking for the [E] world, I'm gonna buy a
diamond ring for you, I'm gonna [C] sing for you, I'll do anything for [Em] you to see you smile,
and if that mockingbird [C] don't sing, and that ring don't shine, [D] I'm gonna break that [Em] birdies
neck, I'll go back to the jewelers, hold it [C] to ya, and make them eat every carrot that
you can get.
