[Verse 1]
D F#
To – day I stumbled from my bed with thunder crashing in my head,
G D C/D
And my pillow still wet from last night’s tears,
D F#
And as I think of giving up, a voice inside my coffee-cup,
G C A
Kept crying out, ringing in my ears

[Chorus]
N.C. D * Em Em7 A
Don’t cry, Daddy! Daddy, please don’t cry,
G * A
Daddy, you’ve still got me and little Tommy,
D * G *
To – gether we’ll find a brand new mommy,
D N.C.
Daddy, Daddy, please, laugh again,
A7 N.C.
Daddy, ride us on your back again,
G F#m Em * A7 D
Oh, D – ad – dy, please, don’t cry

[Break]

[Verse 2]
D F#
Why are children always first to feel the pain and hurt the worst?
G D C/D
It’s cruel, but, somehow, …it just don’t seem right,
D F#
‘Cause every time I cry, I know, it hurts my little children so,
G C A
And, I wonder, will it be the same to – night?

[Chorus]
N.C. D * Em Em7 A
Don’t cry, Daddy! Daddy, please don’t cry,
G * A
Daddy, you’ve still got me and little Tommy,
D * G *
To – gether we’ll find a brand new mommy,
D N.C.
Daddy, Daddy, please, laugh again,
A7 N.C.
Daddy, ride us on your back again,
G F#m Em * A7 D C/D *
Oh, D – ad – dy, please, don’t cry

[Coda]
G F#m Em * A4 A D5
Oh, D – ad – dy, …please, …don’t …cry
