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
sing and that ring don't shine
D Em
I'mma break that birdies neck
Em
I'll go back to the jeweler
C

D
And make him eat every carat don't
Em
