Intro: D  F  G  D  F


D
Today I stumbled from my bed
     F#
With thunder crashing in my head
   G                                 D     D  C
My pillow still wet from last nights tears
D
And as I think of giving up
  F#
A voice inside my coffee cup
     G                         C    C  A
Kept crying out, ringing in my ears


Chorus:
          D
Don't cry daddy
                   Em   Em  A
Daddy please don't cry
       G                   A
Daddy you still got me and little Tommy
  D                   G
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
C      N.C.
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
A      N.C.
Daddy ride us on your back again
N.C.                  D
Oh daddy please don't cry

D
Why are children always first
   F#
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
    G                                   D     D  C
Its true but somehow it just don't seem right
D
Cause ev'ry time I cry I know
   F#
It hurts my little children so
  G                           C        C  A   
I wonder, will it be the same tonight.

          D
Don't cry daddy
                   Em  Em A
Daddy please don't cry
      G                    A
Daddy you still got me and little Tommy
  D                   G
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
C      N.C.
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
A     N.C.
Daddy ride us on your back again
N.C.                  D    C
Oh daddy please don't cry.
N.C.                   D    C  D 
Oh daddy, please don't cry.
