INTRO: C
G C G
Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read
C D
As they led him from the courtroom, a young voice turned his head
C G C
A little boy, dressed in blue, was standing at the rail
Em C G D
He said "I hope they kill you. I hope you go to hell."
G C G
They locked Bobby in a jail with forty other men
C D
They all knew what he had done, and they were glad to take him in
C G C
They'd all seen the headlines about Bobby and his wife
Em C G D
How they loved each other, and how he took her life
PRE-CHORUS:
Em Em7 C ~
Day after day, he sat alone
Am G D
Night after night, they'd hear him sing his song, he'd sing
CHORUS:
G C G
Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
C D
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
Em C G C
I am not afraid of what people say or do
Am Em C D
The only thing I fear is being here
N.C. C
Without you___
N.C. G C G
The little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man
C D
When he fell in love himself, he came to understand
C G C
How it was that Bobby took the life they both adored
Em C G D
'Cause Bobby couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore
G C G
He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed
C D
And all the years just disappeared as through his tears he read
C G C
The stories of the accident that robbed his mama's mind
Em C G D
And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line
PRE-CHORUS:
Em Em7 C ~
And the one about the man who sits alone
Am G D
Year after year, singing his song
CHORUS:
G C G
Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
C D
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
Em C G C
I am not afraid of what people say or do
Am Em C D
The only thing I fear is being here
N.C. G C
Without you___
N.C. G C G
The young man drove his car up, and parked outside the gate
C D
They led him to a cold grey room, the guard told him to wait
C G C
When the guard brought Bobby in, the young man finally knew
Em C G D
He still missed his mama, but he'd missed his daddy too
PRE-CHORUS:
Em Em7 C ~
When the guard left the two of them alone
Am G D
He took Bobby in his arms, and the young man sang his song
CHORUS:
G C G
Daddy, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
C D
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
Em C G C
You have taught me not to fear what people say and do
Am Em C D
And the only thing that hurts is being here
N.C. C
Without you___
