[Verse 1] (verse riff)
Hush, little girl
Sweet baby don't cry, tonight
Daddy is here and he'll sing you a soft lullaby, tonight
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am           C              G     D
Why can't it all be like it was before?
Am           C                    G        D
How can I explain why mommy's not here, anymore?
 
[Chorus]
       G           D         Em         C
'Cause daddy likes porno and ten-dollar whores
G          D          Em          C
Daddy gets wasted and robs liquor stores
G           D        Em            C           G   D
Daddy likes rubbing against little boys on the bus
        Em         C          G  D  Em
I think that's why mommy left us
C          G  D  D
Mommy left us
 
[Verse 2] (verse riff)
Hush, little girl
There is no reason to fret, tonight
Don't mind the smoke, daddy just wants to forget, tonight
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am           C              G     D
Soon it will all be like it was before
Am  C                     G                  D     D
Any minute, she will walk through that front door
 
[Chorus]
    G           D         Em             C
But daddy plays poker and drinks lots of beer
G             D          Em             C
Then he wants sex that involves mommy's rear
G         D            Em            C           G    D
Daddy has sores on his naughty parts oozing with pus
        Em         C          G   D  G  D
I think that's why mommy left us
 
[Bridge]
C            D
Please don't cry
  C          D
I swear I'll try
   C       Am      D
To be here by your side
 
[Verse 3]
G           D          Em            C
Right after daddy gets home from the bar
G          D          Em           C
Visits his bookee and steals a new car
      G            D              Em       C               G      D
He'll drive to the strip club and if daddy plays his cards right
            Em            C       G
He'll bring home your new mommy tonight
 
[Outro]
D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C  G  D  Em  C  G

Good good good. But you should retranscribe the intro so that the notes are relative to the capo. So it'd be: e-------0------ B-----3---3---- G---0-------0-- D-------------- etc... A-------------- E-0------------

very good! but if you could maybe put the actual tabulature part over the verses It would be easier to understand. awesome tab though!

Thanks for this! Ditto on the relative to capo. Nice that it fits on one page. Not sure why, but then printing any tab on this site it comes out on the printer so light I can't read it. Have to copy to a .TXT and then print.
