Verse 4
please-
please- (C major) please- please
(A minor) Come on let's (C major) not start
this busi (G major) ness again
(A minor) I know how much you
resent the (C major) life that I have (G major)
But (A minor) one more time,
(C major) I (A minor) don't want (D major) the family business (G major)
Don't (A minor) want (C major) to inherit (A minor) it upon
the day that you die (G major)
(C major) Really, daddy (A minor) should (D major) have given
(A minor) it to my sis (G major) ter
You know elisa (C major) beth,
you know elisabeth (A minor)
She has (C major) a better (A minor) head for
(G major) those things than I (A minor)
She lives (C major) practically around the corner (G major)
(A minor) That's (C major) really the kind of child (D major)
(C major) you could (A minor) be proud of (G major)
But (C major) papa, I know that this
visit's (A minor) a (G major) mistake
There's (A minor) nothing (C major) here we have in common, (A minor)
except (D major) our name (G major) (A minor)
And families that (C major) live out in (A minor) the sub (G major) urbs
(C major) Often make (D major) each (A minor) other cry (G major)
(B minor) And (A minor) I (C major) don't (A minor) think (D major) that I'll
come home (C major) much any (G major) more
No- (A minor) no, I don't think I'll
come home much again (G major)
Mama (A minor) (C major) (A minor) (G major)
Papa (A minor) (C major) (A minor) (G major)
Families (A minor)
Often make each other cry (G major) (A minor)
No, (C major) I don't think that I'll come home
much any (G major) more
