[Verse 1]
[G]You[Am] bett[C]er[G] sit[C] d[G]own,[C]

You might not under[G]stand,
kids, but give it a [C]try, kids.
[Ab]Now how should I[C#] put this I got
something [Ebm]I want to say
Your mother is a stay -in
[Absus4]But I'm going away[C#][A]
No, [D]we're not mad kid[Ebdim]s,
[D]and it's hard to [Em]say why, but [E]your m[B]other [Em]and
I, [A]kids, just don't
see [D]eye to [F#]eye.
[B]Say your prayers before you go to bed,
make sure you [A]get yourself to school on time.
[B]I know you'll do the things
your mother asks
She's gonna [A]need
you more to stay in line
An[B]d keep in mind your
mother's gonna need your help
A [A]whole lot more than she ever did before
An[B]d no more fightin' over little things
Cause I [A]won't be here to stop
[A#]them anymore[A][Bb]
You know I don't [Eb]want this
[B]Neither does [Fm]she
But [G]sometimes [A#]things happen
that we just [B]can't [D#m]foresee.
[D#]Now [Cm]try t[B]o be calm, kids,[E]
[A]and[E] ple[A]ase don[F#m]'t be too sad[G].[F#m]
Just because I am leaving,
[C]you[B] know I'll still be you[D]r d[F#m]ad.[F#][B]
Say your prayers before you go to bed,
until you [A]get yourself to school on time.
[B]I know you'll do the things your mother asks,
she's gonna [A]need you more to stay in line.
[B]Keep in mind, your mother's gonna need your help
a [A]whole lot more than she ever did before.
[B]And no more fighting over little things,
cause I [A]won't be there to stop [G]them anymore.[B][C]
[F]Remember, I love you, and though [Gm]I'm not here,
[C]you only have to call [Gm]if you need me[C], and
I'll always [F]be [Bb]near.[C][F#][B]
[D]Well I really [G]have to go now,
so please kiss [Am]me goodbye.
[C]What's that?
[G]No, my eyes are just red kid[D]s.
You know your daddy is [A]too
big to [C]cry.[A][Bb]
[B]
Say your prayers before
you go to bed,
Until you [A]get yourself to school on time.
[B]I know you'll do the things
your mother asks,
It doesn't [A]mean you'll never stay in line.
And now [B]keep in mind,
And your mother's gonna need to help her
[A]hold up more than she ever did before.
[B]And I'm a -fightin' all the little things,
cause I [A]won't be there to help her anymore.
