Bad Day Child chords by Kiki Dee
Verse 1
Hello,
Mrs.
Eb
J.
How are you?
Mrs.
J., anything wrong?
Ebm
I had it all worked out.
With one more baby I could have managed,
Eb
but not with two.
The welfare have already
been on to me.
Ebm
Twins?
Eb
Ebm
You're expecting twins?
Eb
Db
Ebm
How quickly an idea planted can take
B
root and grow into a plan.
Ebm
Db
Ebsus4
The thought conceived in this very room grew,
Ebm
Eb
as surely as a seed in a mother's womb.
Bb
Give one to me.
Please,
Mrs.
Johnston, please.
Are you that desperate to have a baby?
Fsus4
Bb
Each day I look out from this window,
Fsus4
Bb
I see him with his friends, I hear him call.
Gbdim
Bb
I rush down, but as I fold my arms around him,
he's gone.
Gbdim
Adim
Bb
Was he ever there at all?
Fsus4
I've dreamed of all the places
Bb
I would take him
The games we'd play,
Fsus4
Bb
the stories I would tell
Gbdim
The jokes we'd share,
Bb
the clothing I would make him
Gbdim
Adim
I reach out , but as I do,
Bb
Db
Bbm
Db
Bbm
he fades away.
Db
Bbm
If my child was raised in
Db
Bbm
a palace like this one,
Db
Bbm
He wouldn't have to worry where
Db
Bbm
his next meal was coming from
Ebm
His clothing would be supplied by
Ab
George
Henry
Lee
Db
Ab
Db
Bbm
He'd have all his own toys
Db
Bbm
and a garden to play in
Db
Bbm
He could make too much noise without
Db
Bbm
the neighbours complaining
Ebm
Silver trays to take meals on
Ab
A bike with both wheels on
Yes
Db
Ab
Db
And he'd sleep every
Bbm
Db
night in a bed of his own
Bbm
Db
Bbm
He wouldn't get into fights,
Db
he'd leave matches alone
Bbm
Ebm
And you'd never find him
Ab
effing and blinding
Never!
Db
Bbm
And when he grew up,
Db
he could never be told
Bbm
Db
Bbm
To stand and queue up for
Db
hours on end at the door
Ebm
Ab
He'd grow up to be a credit to me
B
E
To you?
Dbm
E
Yes, but I would still be able
Dbm
to see him every day, wouldn't
I?
Gbm
Oh, of course you would.
B
And you'd look after him,
Absus4
wouldn't you?
Db
Bbm
I'd keep him warm in the winter
Db
Bbm
And cool when it shines
Db
I'd pull out his splinters
Bbm
Db
Bbm
Without making him cry
Ebm
I'd always be there if his
Ab
dream became a nightmare
Bbm
Db
Bbm
Db
Bbm
My child
Db
Bbm
Db
Bbm
My child
Db
Bbm
Db
Bbm
Db
My child
