  D
Today I stumbled from my bed

     F#
With thunder crashing in my head

       G
And my pillow still wet

                  | D | C/D |
From last night's tears

    D
And as I think of giving up

  F#
A voice inside my coffee-cup

     G
Kept crying out

              | C | A |
Ringing in my ears
[Chorus]
          D
Don't cry daddy

                    | Em | A |
Daddy, please don't cry

       G                       A
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy

  D                   G
Together we'll find a brand new mommy

   G 
   Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
[break]
   A 
   Daddy ride us on your back again
[break]
    G  F#m  Em   G/A         [ D ]
Oh, da-a-a-addy, please don't cry
[Interlude] | D | F/D | G/D | D | C/D | D | C/D | [Verse 2]
D
Why are children always first

   F#
To feel the pain and hurt the worst

     G
It's cruel but somehow

                 | D | C/D |
It just don't seem right

       D
'Cause ev'ry time I cry I know

   F#
It hurts my little children so

      G
And I wonder 

                    | C | A |
Will it be the same tonight
[Chorus]
          D
Don't cry daddy

                  | Em | A |
Daddy, please don't cry

       G                       A
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy

  D                   G
Together we'll find a brand new mommy

   G 
   Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
[break]

   Daddy ride us on your back again
