The second line of the second verse ends differently than the second line of the
first verse.
CAPO IV
INTRO: G Bm C D
My [G]boss'll tell you that I've been to [Bm]work all week on time
And [C]I ain't had no liquor on my [G]breath
[G]Ain't no kind of secret I've been [Bm]known to take a drink
And it's [C]made me do some things that I r[D]egret
L[C]oretta said this ain't no kind of [G]way to raise a family
And one [C]night she called it quits and called a [D]cab
She left the [C]clothes out on the clothes line and the [G]dishes in the sink
So I [C]guess she knows that she ain't comin' [D]back
CHORUS:
But I just [G]wanna see my kids, I just [Bm]wanna hold my girls
Heaven [C]knows I ain't got much of nothin' [D]else in this whole world
I just [G]wanna be around enough to [Bm]know that they've been loved
I just [C]wanna be the daddy [D] my daddy never [G]was
INTRO
Now [G]lately she's been knowing this ol' [Bm]boy she met in church
And [C]I can't say she's wrong for wantin' [D]more
I gave [G]him the right to tell my wife that [Bm]I can't come around
The [C]night I knocked a hole in her front [D]door
And Lor[C]etta took my keys and she [G]made me wait outside
But she [C]didn't call the law she called a [D]cab
And [C]as I pulled away I saw [G]somethin' in her eyes
So [C]I reckon that she knows I ain't so [D]bad
CHORUS
INTRO
My [G]boss'll tell you that I've been to [Bm]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
