       Am
Well, once when I was eight
     E
everything was going great
            C                      F
until my father, he tried to kill me
        Am  
By the time that I was nine
     E
my daddy was doing time
         C                           F
and my mother had enlisted in the army

   Am          G                 C
I wish my father had loved me more

       Am
By the time that I was ten
          E
my dad's life was going to end
        C                   F
'cause he was going on ninety
        Am
By the time I was eleven
    E
my daddy was up in heaven
       C                        F
in the clouds, staring down at me

       Am         G           C
And I can't help but miss him 
       Am       G             C
Even though he hit me everyday
        Am       G                   C
And he tried to hang me with a belt once
        Am             G            C
And he took nude photographs of my body

            C                                                 Am
And by the time that I was twelve, I had made my first million
            C                                                  Am
And by the time that I was fourteen, I had found the cure to cancer
            C                                                   Am
And by the time that I was fourteen, I was the president of the country
            C                                                    Am
And by the time that I was fifteen, I was the champion of the world


         Am       G              C
So I'm glad my daddy didn't love me
         Am       G                C
And I'm glad that he tried to kill me
         Am       G                  C
And I'm glad he took those pictures of me
      Am       G               C
I am glad my daddy didn't love me
            Am      G      C
I said I'm glad my daddy didn't love me
