Mockingbird
Eminem
Key : Em
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
Em C     D Em                            C                                  D   Em
    Yeah,    I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now.
                             C
But hey, what'd Daddy always tell you?
           D                  Em                          C
Straighten up, little soldier,  stiffen up that upper lip!
                      D          Em
What you cryin' about? You got me

[Verse 1]
---------------------
          Em                     C
Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad
              D                           Em
When I'm gone, but I'm tryin' to give you the life that I never had
                           C
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
D                    Em
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you wanna cry
                              C
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there
Daddy's with you in your prayers
D                         Em
No more cryin', wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
                      C
We gon' pull together through it
                              D
We gon' do it, Lainie-Uncle's crazy, ain't he?
          Em
Yeah, but he loves you, girl, and you better know it
                    C
We're all we got in this world, when it spins, when it swirls
D                       Em
When it whirls, when it twirls, two little beautiful girls
                            C
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze, I know it's confusin' you
D                     Em
Daddy's always on the move, Momma's always on the news
                            C
I try to keep you sheltered from it, but somehow it seems
           D                      Em
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
                             C
All the things growin' up as Daddy that he had to see
      D                          Em
Daddy don't want you to see, but you see just as much as he did
                              C
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
                D                      Em
But things have got so bad between us, I don't see us ever bein'
                     C                                   D
Together ever again, like we used to be when we was teenagers
                        Em
But then, of course, everything always happens for a reason
               C
I guess it was never meant to be, but it's just something
D                   Em
We have no control over, and that's what destiny is
                     C
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
      D                         Em
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this'll all just be a dream

[Chorus]
---------------------
    Em             C
Now hush, little baby, don't you cry
     D                  Em
Everything's gonna be alright
                                    C
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
                D                   Em
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
                                   C
I know Mommy's not here right now, and we don't know why
   D                  Em
We feel how we feel inside
                                   C
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
               D                 Em
But I promise, Momma's gon' be alright

[Verse 2]
---------------------
            Em                  C
It's funny, I remember back one year when Daddy had no money
      D                              Em
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up and stuck 'em under the tree
                                  C
And said some of 'em were from me 'cause Daddy couldn't buy 'em
       D                          Em
I'll never forget that Christmas, I sat up the whole night cryin'
                               C
'Cause Daddy felt like a bum—see, Daddy had a job
            D                       Em
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and Mom
                       C
And at the time, every house that we lived in
                    D                      Em
Either kept gettin' broken into and robbed or shot up on the block
                        C
And your mom was savin' money for you in a jar
          D                      Em
Tryin' to start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
                               C
Almost had a thousand dollars, 'til someone broke in and stole it
D                     Em
And I know it hurt so bad it broke your momma's heart
                                  C
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
D                       Em
Mom and Dad was arguin' a lot, so Momma moved back
                           C
On to Chalmers in the flat, one bedroom apartment
    D                      Em
And Dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
                              C
And that's when Daddy went to California with his CD
        D                    Em
And met Dr. Dre and flew you and Momma out to see me
                       C
But Daddy had to work, you and Momma had to leave me
         D                    Em
Then you started seein' Daddy on the TV, and Momma didn't like it
            C
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
D                  Em
Papa was a rolling stone, Momma developed a habit
                        C
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
D                       Em
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
                         C
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
D                       Em
Now I'm sittin' in this empty house
                                       C
Just reminiscin', lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
           D                              Em
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
                   C                                  D
Wow, guess you pretty much are, and Daddy's still here
                    Em
Lainie, I'm talkin' to you too, Daddy's still here
                    C                                        D
I like the sound of that, yeah, it's got a ring to it, don't it?
              Em
Sshh! Momma's only gone for the moment



[Outro]
---------------------
                      Em                C
And if you ask me to, Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
D                 Em
I'ma give you the world
                                      C
I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'ma sing for you
                 D                  Em
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
                                   C
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
     D                   Em
I'ma break that birdie's neck
                                        C
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
                       D                      Em
And make him eat every carat, don't fuck with Dad!
