MockingBird (sped up) Chords

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