FF E minorEm
Verse 1:
E minorEm A minorAm G+G
I pulled your pants off in the back of a Corsair
FF E minorEm
And you looked at me like your father was there
A minorAm G+G
And shrugged your shoulders when you’d had enough
You said you’d done this before
A minorAm C majorC G+G
But I can tell a bluff when it’s there!
D MajorD A minorAm
Now you’re shouting me up the stairs
C majorC G+G
And your father’s too old to care
D MajorD A minorAm
And you take off your own underwear
C majorC
Because we’re running a family.
FF E minorEm
Verse 2:
E minorEm
The miracle of life
A minorAm G+G
What have we done?
FF E minorEm
We made a baby from a bottle of rum
A minorAm G+G
Doctor waved her at me saying “This child’s drunk!”
A minorAm C majorC
She fell asleep in hospital woke up in the slum
G+G D MajorD A minorAm
And I’m sad when this beautiful girl calls me Dad
A minorAm C majorC G+G
And she’s always too good to be bad
D MajorD A minorAm
But I have to get drunk to be glad
C majorC
That I’m running this family.

Verse 3:
A minorAm G+G FF C majorC A minorAm
She looks more like you than you did
G+G
And I won’t be surprised
C majorC G+G
If some day soon
C majorC G+G
Some great baboon
C majorC G+G
Will spend all afternoon
C majorC G+G
Teaching baby new tunes
C majorC G+G
With his trousers still strewn on my couch
D MajorD A minorAm
When they kissed I almost said “Ouch!”
C majorC G+G
And she said “Me and Dwain are goin’ out.”
D MajorD A minorAm
But if she keeps up that pitiful pout
C majorC
She will be running this family
