Eminem – Mockingbird Chord

Em C     D   Em  
     Yeah
                Em          
I know sometimes things may 
 C                      
not always make sense to 
            D   Em  
you right now
       Em           
But hey, what daddy 
                C  
always tell you?
           D                Em        
Straighten up little soldier, stiffen 
        Em       C  
up that upper lip
                     D    
What you crying about? You 
      Em  
got me
 
           Em              
Hailie I know you miss your 
             C  
mom and I know you miss your dad
          D                    
Well I'm gone but I'm trying to 
               Em  
give you the life that I never had
       Em                      
I can see you're sad, even when 
       C  
you smile, even when you laugh
D                         
I can see it in your eyes, 
  Em  
deep inside you want to cry
 Em                         
Cause you're scared, I ain't 
         C  
there? Daddy's with you in 
your prayers
 D                              
No more crying, wipe them tears, 
  Em  
daddy's here, no more nightmares
 Em                              
We gon' pull together through it, 
  C  
we gon' do it'
               D                      
Laney uncles crazy, ain't he? 
Yeah but 
     Em  
he loves you girl and you 
better know it
 Em                           
We're all we got in this world 
   C  
when it spins, when it swirls
  D                       Em  
When it whirls, when it twirls, 
two little beautiful girls
 Em                        
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, 
     C  
I know it's confusing you
 D                         
Daddy's always on the move, 
  Em  
mama's always on the news
    Em                          
I try to keep you sheltered from 
     C  
it but somehow it seems
             D                   
The harder that I try to do that, 
      Em  
the more it backfires on me
          Em                 
All the things growing up his 
         C  
daddy that he had to see
       D                       
Daddy don't want you to see but 
      Em  
you see just as much as he did
        Em                        
We did not plan it to be this way, 
       C  
your mother and me
                 D                      
But things have gotten so bad between us 
          Em             
I don't see us ever being 
        Em
together ever again
        C               
Like we used to be when 
              D  
we were teenagers
             Em                     
But then of course everything always 
                   Em        
happens for a reason, I guess 
                C  
it was never meant to be
                         D     
But it's just something we have 
                       Em  
no control over and that's 
what destiny is
Em                        
 But no more worries, rest 
        C  
 your head and go to sleep
      D                    
Maybe one day we'll wake up 
               Em  
and this will all just be a dream
 
     Em                C  
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
       D                 Em  
Everything's gonna be alright
                       Em       
Stiffen that upper lip up little 
          C  
lady, I told ya
                 D             
Daddy's here to hold ya through 
      Em  
the night
                    Em           
I know mommy's not here right now 
         C  
and we don't know why
    D                  Em  
We fear how we feel inside
                       Em  
It may seem a little crazy,
        C
pretty baby
               D           
But I promise momma's gon' 
      Em
be alright
 
 
It's funny
Em                      
I remember back one year 
       C  
when daddy had no money
        D                           
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents 
          Em  
up and stuck 'em under the tree 
          Em                      
And said some of 'em were from me, 
        C  
cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
      D                         
I'll never forget that Christmas 
    Em  
I sat up the whole night crying
             Em             
Cause daddy felt like a bum, 
      C  
see daddy had a job
         D                 
But his job was to keep the 
  Em  
food on the table for you and mom
            Em         C  
And at the time every house
that we lived in
                      D        
Either kept getting broken into 
      Em  
and robbed or shot up on the block 
          Em             C  
And your mom was saving money 
for you in a jar
        D                   
Tryna start a piggy bank for 
         Em  
you so you could go to college
        Em                   
Almost had a thousand dollars 
  C  
till someone broke in and stole it
        D                
And I know it hurt so bad 
      Em  
it broke your momma's heart
        Em                   
And it seemed like everything 
            C  
was just startin' to fall apart
 D                     
Mom and dad was arguin' 
    Em  
a lot so momma moved back
         Em           
On the Chalmers in the 
   C  
flat one bedroom apartment
     D                   
And dad moved back to the 
        Em  
other side of 8 Mile on Novara
      Em                  
And that's when daddy went 
         C  
to California with his CD 
         D              
And met Dr  Dre and flew 
  Em  
you and momma out to see me
     Em                 C  
But daddy had to work, you 
and momma had to leave me
           D           
Then you started seeing 
       Em  
daddy on the T V   
                  Em        
And momma didn't like it and 
          C  
you and Laney were to young
to understand it
 D                       
Papa was a rollin' stone, 
  Em  
momma developed a habit
       Em              
And it all happened too 
  C  
fast for either one of us 
to grab it
D                      
I'm just sorry you were 
   Em  
there and had to witness
it first hand
      Em               
Cause all I ever wanted 
     C  
to do was just make you proud
 D                      
Now I'm sitting in this 
Em  
empty house, just reminiscing
 Em                 
Lookin' at your baby 
     C  
pictures, it just trips me out
            D                       
To see how much you both have grown, 
      Em  
it's almost like you're sisters now
Em                C        
 Wow, guess you pretty much 
                            D  
 are and daddy's still here
                   Em  
Laney I'm talkin' to you too,
daddy's still here
Em                         C   
I like the sound of that, yeah, 
                        D  
it's got a ring to it don't it?
                   Em  
Shh, momma's only gone for
the moment
 
     Em                C  
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
       D                 Em  
Everything's gonna be alright
                       Em       
Stiffen that upper lip up little 
          C  
lady, I told ya
                 D      
Daddy's here to hold ya 
             Em  
through the night
                    Em       
I know mommy's not here right 
             C  
now and we don't know why
    D                  Em  
We fear how we feel inside
                       Em  
It may seem a little crazy, 
         C  
pretty baby
               D     
But I promise momma's 
            Em  
gon' be alright
 
                       Em     
And if you ask me too Daddy's 
                 C  
gonna buy you a mockingbird
D                   Em  
I'mma give you the world
                     Em          
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you, 
        C  
I'mma sing for you
                  D     
I'll do anything for you 
              Em  
to see you smile
                    Em       
And if that mockingbird don't 
                C

        D                 Em  
I'mma break that birdies neck
                     Em    
I'll go back to the jeweler 
              C

                        D
