ok this is my first tab. The other ones on here just didnt
sound right to me but like i said its my first tab so no offense.
plus this one is much easier. not 100% sure about the "C" chord
but it sounds good enough and I think it might be right.
Let me know. Feedback is welcome.....be gentle
[Verse 1]
D
drivin through town just my boy and me, with a happy meal and his booster seat
C G D
knowin that he couldnt have his toy till his nuggets were gone

A green traffic light turned straight to red, I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath

His fries went a flyin' and his orange drink covered his lap
G A
Well, then my 4 year old said a 4-letter word,
D A G

C G D
Said Lord please help me help my stupid self
D
Just this side of bedtime later that night, turning on my son's scooby doo night light
C G D
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
G A
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands,
