Intro Eb fingerpicking
[Bb]Bobby pleaded guilty to the ch[Eb]arges that they r[Bb]ead
As they l[Bb]ed him from the courtroom, a y[Eb]oung voice t[Cm]urned his h[F]ead
A li[Eb]ttle boy, dressed in blue, was st[Gm]anding at the r[Eb]ail
He said [Cm]"I hope they kill you. I hope you go to h[F]ell."
[Bb]They locked Bobby in a jail with f[Eb]orty other [Bb]men
They all k[Bb]new what he had done, and they were g[Eb]lad to t[Cm]ake him [F]in
They'd a[Eb]ll seen in the headlines about B[Gm]obby and his w[Eb]ife
[Cm]How they loved each other, and how he took her l[F]ife
[Gm]Day after day, he sat a[Eb]lone
[Cm]Night after night, they'd hear him sing s[F]ong (he'd sing)
CHORUS:
[Bb]Baby, I'll take c[Eb]are of you, I'll n[Cm]ever let you d[Bb]own
[Bb]No harm will ever c[Eb]ome to you [Cm]as long as I'm ar[F]ound
[Gm]I am not af[Eb]raid of what people say or [Gm]do
[Cm]The only thing I fear is being [Eb]here... wi[F]thout [Bb]you.[Eb][Bb][Eb]
[Bb]The little boy dressed in blue grew [Eb]up to be a [Bb]man
[Bb]When he fell in l[Eb]ove himelf, he c[Cm]ame to unde[F]rstand
[Eb]How it was the Bobby took the l[Gm]ife they both ad[Eb]ored
Cause Bo[Cm]bby couldn't stand to see her suffer an[F]ymore
[Bb]He took out the papers from the tr[Eb]unk beneath his b[Bb]ed
And [Bb]all the years just dis[Eb]appeared as thr[Cm]ough his tears he r[F]ead
The st[Eb]ories of the accident that r[Gm]obbed his mama's m[Eb]ind
[Cm]And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the l[F]ine
[Gm]and the one about the man who sits al[Eb]one
[Cm]Year after year, singin his s[F]ong go to chorus
The yo[Bb]ung man drove his car up, and p[Eb]arked outside the g[Bb]ate
They [Bb]led him to a c[Eb]old grey room, the g[Cm]uard told him to w[F]ait
[Eb]When the guard brought Bobby in the y[Gm]oung man finally k[Eb]new
[Cm]He still missed his mama, but he'd missed his daddy t[F]oo
[Gm]And when the guard left the two of them al[Eb]one
[Cm]He took Bobby in his arms, and the young man sang his s[F]ong
[Bb]Daddy, I'll take c[Eb]are of you, I'll n[Cm]ever let you d[Bb]own
[Bb]No harm will ever c[Eb]ome to you as l[Cm]ong as I'm ar[F]ound
[Gm]You have taught me [Eb]not to fear what people say or [Gm]do
[Cm]The only thing that hurts is being [Eb]here..wi[F]thout [Bb]you.[Eb][Bb]
