[Intro] Am F C G x2 [Verse 1]
Am                   F              C               G
  In my platforms I hit the floor, fell face down, didn't help my brain out.

Am                      F                C            G
  Then the baby came before I found the magic how to keep her happy.

Am                 F           C                  G
  I never was the fantasy of what you want, wanted me to be.

Am       F                         C                   G
  Don't judge me so harsh, little girl! So you got a playboy mommy.

Am              F              C                           G
  But when you tell 'em my name and you wanna cross that bridge all on your own,

Am        F                       C                            G
  little girl, they'll do you no harm because they know your playboy mommy.

Am              F                 C                     G
  But when you tell 'em my name... From here to Birmingham I got a few friends!
[Instrumental] Am F C G [Verse 2]
Am                           F                      C                  G
  I never was there... Was there when it counts. I get my way. You're so like me!

Am                           F            C                   G
  You seemed ashamed... Ashamed that I was a good friend of American soldiers.

Am                       F                   C                G
  I'll say it loud here by your grave: those angels can't ever take my place!
[Chorus]
Am       F                         C                G
  Don't judge me so harsh, little girl, you got a playboy mommy.

Am              F                  C                       G
  But when you tell 'em my name and you wanna cross that bridge all on your own,

Am        F                       C                            G
  little girl, they'll do you no harm because they know your playboy mommy.

Am              F                       C               G
  But you just tell 'em my name... You tell 'em my name: I got a few friends!
[Instrumental] Am F C G x2 [Bridge]
Am          F                    C            G
  Somewhere, where the orchids grow, I can't find those church bells

Am                      F           Am  Em F               C      G
  that played when you died, played Glo-ri-a talkin' 'bout Ho-san-ah!
[Chorus]
Am       F                         C                G
  Don't judge me so harsh, little girl! You got a playboy mommy comin' home.

Am              F                     C                    G
  But when you tell them soldiers my name and cross that bridge all on your own,

Am        F                       C                           G
  little girl, they'll do you no harm 'cause they know your playboy mommy.

Am                 F                   C             G/C
  But I'll be home... I'll be home to take you in my arms!
