Dsus4 Am
Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty
C G
To deal with all the madness to keep from blowing up
Dsus4 Am
Daddy needs a drink to calm down the badness
C G
To execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup
Dsus4 Am
Daddy needs a drink to keep the wheels from rubbing
C G
To compensate for nothing or nothing going on
(Chorus)
Em Am C G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em Am C G
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Em Am C G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em Am C G
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on

Dsus4 Am
Daddy needs a drink to hem in his demons
C G
To hear through baby screaming or the TV set turned on
Dsus4 Am
Ain't nothing on the radio like the wave my transmitter's on
C G
Put that drinking jacket on and enjoy a little fog
(Chorus)
Em Am. C G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em Am C G
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Em Am C G
Daddy needs a drink so Mama fix one quick
Em Am C
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Outro.: | Dsus4 | Am | C | G | --- repeat 4 times to fade
