CAPO IV

INTRO: G Bm C D

G Bm

My boss'll tell you that I've been to work all week on time

C G

And I ain't had no liquor on my breath

G Bm

Ain't no kind of secret I've been known to take a drink

C D

And it's made me do some things that I regret

C G

Loretta said this ain't no kind of way to raise a family

C D

And one night she called it quits and called a cab

C G

She left the clothes out on the clothes line and the dishes in the sink

C D

So I guess she knows that she ain't comin' back

CHORUS:

G Bm

But I just wanna see my kids, I just wanna hold my girls

C D

Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothin' else in this whole world

G Bm

I just wanna be around enough to know that they've been loved

C D G

I just wanna be the daddy my daddy never was

INTRO

G Bm

Now lately she's been knowing this ol' boy she met in church

C D

And I can't say she's wrong for wantin' more

G Bm

I gave him the right to tell my wife that I can't come around

C D

The night I knocked a hole in her front door

C G

And Loretta took my keys and she made me wait outside

C D

But she didn't call the law she called a cab

C G

And as I pulled away I saw somethin' in her eyes

C D

So I reckon that she knows I ain't so bad

CHORUS

INTRO

G Bm

My boss'll tell you that I've been to work all week on time

C D (let ring)

And I ain't had no liquor on my breath

OUTRO: G Bm C D G
