Chords for Mockingbird - Remix (Eminem feat. 2Pac)

_ _ [C] _ _ _
[D] Yeah, _ [Em] I know sometimes _ [Am] things may not [C] always make sense to you [A] right now, _ [Em] but hey, _ what
daddy [C] always tell you, _ _ [D] straighten up little soldier, [Em] _ _ stiffen up that upper lip, [Am] _ _ [C] crying
about, [Em] you got me.
Haley, I know you miss your [C] mom, and I know you miss your dad when I'm gone, but I'm trying
to [Em] give you the life that I never had.
I can see you're sad, [C] even when you smile, even when you [A] laugh, I can see it [Em] in your eyes.
Deep inside, you wanna cry, cause you're scared, [C] I ain't there, daddy's with you in your [D] prayers,
no more crying, [Em] wipe them tears, daddy's here, no more nightmares, we gon' pull together
[C] through it, we gon' do it.
Laney [D] Uncle's crazy, ain't he?
[Em] Yeah, but he loves you girl, and you better know it.
What do we got [C] in this world, when it spins, and it [D] swirls, when it whirls, [Em] when it twirls,
two little beautiful girls, looking puzzles [Am] in a daze.
I know it's confusing [D] you, daddy's always [Em] on the move, mama's always on the news, I try
to keep you [C] sheltered from it, but somehow it seems the [D] harder that I try to [Em] do that,
the more it backfires on me, all the things, growing [C] up as daddy, daddy had to see, [D] daddy
don't want you to [Em] see, but you see just as much as he did, we did not plan it to [C] be this
way, your mother and me, but things have got so bad [Em] between us, I don't see us ever being
together ever [Am] again, like we used to be when we was [D] teenagers, but then of [Em] course everything
always happens for a reason, I guess [C] it was never meant to be, but it's just [D] something
we have no [Em] control over, and that's what destiny is, but no more [C] worries, rest your head and
go to sleep, [D] maybe one day we'll [Em] wake up, and this'll all just be a dream.
Now of course little [C] baby don't you cry, [D] everything's gonna [Em] be alright, skipping that
puzzle part little [C] lady, I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll hold ya [Em] through the night, I know
mommy's not here right [C] now and we don't know why, [D] we feel how we [Em] feel inside, it may seem
a little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I [D] promise mama's gonna [Em] be alright.
When I was young me and my [C] mama had beef, 17 [D] years old, kicked [Em] out on the streets, but
back at the time I never [Am] thought I'd see her [C] face, ain't a woman [A] alive that could [Em] take
my mama's place, she's been there through school, [C] scared to go home, I was a fool [D] with
the big boys [Em] breaking all the rules, said cheers with my [Am] baby sister, over the years
[D] we was poorer than [Em] other little kids, and even though we [C] had different daddies, the
same [D] drama when things were [Em] wrong we blamed mama, I reminisce on [C] the stress I caused,
it was hell, [A] hugging on [Em] my mama from a jail cell, _ [C] running from the police, that's [D] right,
mama [Em] cast me for the whoopin' to my backside, you [Am] always was committed, a poor [D] single mother
on [Em] welfare, tell me how you did it, there's no way I [C] can pay you back, but the plan [D] is
to show you that [Em] I understand, you are appreciated.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
Now of course little [C] baby don't you cry, [D] everything's gonna [Em] be alright, skipping that
bully bus little [C] lady, I told you, can't [D] exceed the old you, [Em] who then died, I know
mommy's not here right [C] now and we don't know [D] why, we feel how [Em] we feel inside, it may seem
a little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I [D] promise mama's [Em] gonna be alright.
Pause some liquor and I'll [C] reminisce, cause through the trauma I [D] can always [Em] depend on
my mama, and when it seems that I'm [Am] hopeless, [C] you say the words that [D] can get me back in
[Em] focus, _ when I was sick as a [C] little kid, to keep me happy [D] there's no limit to the [Em] things
you did, and all my childhood [C] memories, are full of all [D] the sweet things you [Em] did for me,
_ and even though I act [C] crazy, I gotta thank [D] the lord that you [Em] made me, there are no words
that can [C] express how I feel, you never [D] kept a secret, [Em] always stayed real, and I appreciate
how you [C] raised me, and all the [D] extra love that you [Em] gave me, I wish I could take the
[Am] pain away, [C] if you can make it through [D] the night, then it's a [Em] brighter day, everything
will be alright if you [C] hold on, it's a struggle [D] every day you gotta [Em] roll on, there's no way
I can [C] pay you back, but my plan [A] is to show you that I [Em] understand. _
Now of course little [C] baby don't you cry, [D] everything's gonna [Em] be alright, skipping that
bully park little [C] lady, I told ya daddy said [D] I'll hold ya [Em] through the night, I know mommy's
not here right [C] now, and we don't know why, [D] we feel how we [Em] feel inside, it may seem a
little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I promise [D] mama's gonna [Em] be alright.
It's funny, I remember [C] back one year when daddy had no money, [D] mommy wrapped the Christmas
[Em] presents up and stuck em under the tree, and said some of em were [Am] from me, cause daddy
[C] couldn't buy em, [A] I'll never forget that [Em] Christmas, I sat up the whole night crying, cause daddy
felt like a [C] bum, see daddy had a job, but [D] his job was to keep the [Em] food on the table
for you and mom, and at the time, [C] every house that we lived in either kept [D] getting broken
into [Em] and robbed, or shot up on the block, and your mom was [C] saving money for you in a
jar, [D] tryna start a piggy [Em] bank for you so you could go to college, almost had a thousand
[C] dollars, until someone broke in and [A] stole it, and I know it [Em] hurt so bad it broke your
mama's heart, and it seemed like [C] everything was just starting to fall apart, [D] mom and dad
was [Em] arguing a lot, so mama moved back on the charmers in [C] the flat, one bedroom apartment,
[D] and dad moved back to [Em] the other side of 8 mile on Novara, and that's when daddy [C] went
to California with his CD, [D] and met Dr.
Dre, [Em] and flew you and mama out to see me, but daddy
had to [C] work, you and mama had to leave me, [A] then you started seeing [Em] daddy on the TV, and
mama didn't like it, [C] and you and Lainey were too young to understand [D] it, papa was [Em] a rolling
stone, mama developed a habit, and it all [C] happened too fast for either one of us to
[D] grab it, I'm just sorry [Em] you were there and had to witness it, for saying cause all I
ever [C] wanted to do was just make you proud, [D] now I'm sitting [Em] in this empty house, just
reminiscing, looking at your [Am] baby pictures, it [C] just trips me out to [D] see how much you both
have [Em] grown, it's almost like you're sisters now, wow, [C] I guess you pretty much are, and
daddy's [D] still here, Lainey [Em] I'm talking to you too, daddy's still here, I like [C] the sound
of that chair, it's got a ring to [D] it don't it, shh, [Em] mama's only gone for the moment,
now, little [C] baby don't you cry, [D] everything's gonna [Em] be alright, step in that upper lip
up little [C] lady, I told ya, daddy [D] said I'll hold ya [Em] through the night, I know mommy's
not here right [C] now, and we don't know why, [D] we feel how we [Em] feel inside, it may seem a
little crazy, [C] pretty baby, but I [D] promise mama's gonna [Em] be alright, and if you ask me who daddy's
gonna [C] buy you, I'm not getting married, [D] I'm looking [Em] through the world, I'ma buy a diamond
ring for you, [C] I'ma sing for you, I'll do anything [D] for you to [Em] see you smile, and if that mockingbird
[C] don't sing and that ring don't shine, [D] I'ma break that [Em] birdie's neck, I'll go back to
the jewelers, [C] sold it to ya, and make them eat [D] every carrot, [Em] don't call me dad.
