Hey, Daddy just lost his pay

What did he do it for

It never made it through our door

He drank the week away
[Chorus]

There must be a better way

Tell him you want him home

To sit and watch the evenings pass

And readin' the Leaves of Grass
[Chorus]

[Middle 8]
           F
When we're old and gray

        C
And the things we say

        G                Bb
are the things we really mean

   F/C
So why cause a scene

            C
When things ain't what they seem

           Em7              Am
'Cause the end result's the same
[Chorus]

      D                Gmaj7
There must be a better way

    Cmaj7               Fmaj7
Now mama don't start to cry

      F/G              C
Let's give him another try
