[Verse 1]
[C]They're taking [F]her children [C]away
Be[F]cause [D]they said [C]she was [F]not
a good [C]mother
They're taking [G]her children [C]away
Because she was making it with
[F]sisters [C]and brothers
[F]And [C]everyone else, [F]all of the other[C]s
Like [F]cheap [C]officers who would [F]stand
there and [C]flirt in [G]front of me

[Verse 2]
They're [C]taking her children away
Be[F]cause [C]they said she was [F]not
[C]a good mother
They're taking [F]her children [C]away
Because of the things that they
[F]heard she had don[C]e
The [F]black Air For[C]ce sergeant
was not the first one
[F]And all of [C]the drugs she [F]took,
every one, [G]every one

[Verse 3]
And I am [G]the Water Boy,
the real game's [C]not over [F]here[C]
But [F]my heart is overflow
[C]in' any[G]way[D][G]
I'm just a tired man, no [C]words [F]to say[C]
[F]But since she lost her [G]daughter
It's [F]her eyes that fill with [G]wa ter
[F]And I am much [G]happier this [C]way[F][C]

[C]They're taking her chil[F]dren [C]away
Be[F]cause they said [C]she was [F]not
a good [C]mother
They're taking her chil[F]dren [C]away
Be[F]cause number on [C]was the
[F]girl friend from Paris[C]
[F]The things that they did[C] - ah
[F]- they didn't have to [C]ask us
And [F]then the Welshman from [C]India,
[F]who came here to [G]stay

[Verse 5]
[G]
They're tak[C]ing her children away
[F]Be cause they said [C]she was
[F]not a good [C]mother
They're taking her children away
Be[F]cause of [C]the things
she [F]did in the street[C]s
In the [F]al leys [C]and bars,

[C]That mis[F]erable rot[C]ten slut couldn't tur[F]n anyone[C] awa[G]y
