Am                   Em
It's a pity it's a crying shame
Am                     Em
Who pulled you down again
Am                Em
How painful it must be
Am                Em      D
To bruise so easily inside

Am                   Em
It's a pity it's a downright crime
Am             Em
It happens all the time
Am                              Em
You want to stay little daddy's girl
Am                                     Em                  D       G7
You want to hide from the vicious world outside

C             G
Don't cry
                        Am                    Em
You know the tears will do no good
                    F     G
So dry your eyes

                Am                   Em
Oh, your daddy he's the iron man
Am                            Em
A battleship wrecked on dry land
Am                             Em
Your mamma she's a bitter bride
Am                    Em                D
She'll never be satisfied you know

And that's not right

But don't cry

You know the tears will do no good

So dry your eyes

Oh, they told you life is hard
Am       Em
Misery from the start
       F            C          D      G7
It's dull it's slow it's painful
       C               G
But, I tell you life is sweet
Am                   Em
In spite of the misery
             F              C            D
There's so much more be grateful
          F      C           D
Well, who do you believe?

Who will you listen to who will it be?
                    F        C                    D
Because it's high time that you decide
             G
In your own mind

Am              Em
I've tried to comfort you
Am              Em                  D
I've tried to tell you to be patient
         D7
That they are blind and they can't see

Am                   Em
Fortune gonna come one day
Am                        Em
They're all gonna fade away
Am                   Em
Your daddy the war machine
Am                              Em            D
And your momma the long and suffering
G                                            C
Prisoner of what she can not see

For they've told you life is hard

Misery from the start

It's dull it's slow it's painful

In spite of the misery
