F       F (chord) Fadd9 F6
 When I come home baby
Bb A#7M                 Bb6            A#7M
       And I've been working all night long
F Fadd9         F6         F6             A#7M Bb6 A#7M
                  I put my daughter on my knee,        and she says
F Fadd9      F6 F6       Bb
       "Daddy     what's wrong?"
F             Fadd9        F6   F6
 She whispers in my ear so sweet
Bb A#7M                  Bb6           A#7M
       You know what she says? She says


Chorus:
-------

More simple here, just one bar with C then three with Dm. But Dmadd9 also comes in some times.
C, Dm, Dmadd9
3   5       0
5   6       6
5   7       7
5   7       7

C C C C               Dm      Dm Dm Dm
      "Daddy you're a fool to cry
         Dm Dm      Dm Dm
You're a fool to cry
       Dm       Dm     Dm   Dm
And it makes me wonder why."


Second verse:
-------------

The chord pattern changes a bit. The F bar is a random mix of F (chord), Fadd9 and 
F6, the Bb bar goes as Bb6, A#7M Bb6, A#7M.

        F F       Fadd9 F
You know, I got a woman
Bb6 A#7M                     Bb6          A#7M
        And she lives in the poor part of town
F F F             F6
     and I go see her sometimes
Bb6 A#7M            Bb6  A#7M
    And we make love, so fine
F F F6 F
Bb6 A#7M              Bb6            A#7M
        I put my head on her shoulder
F Fadd9        F                   F
       She says, "Tell me all your troubles."
Bb6 A#7M                  Bb6       A#7M
        You know what she says? She says

(Chorus)
"Daddy you're a fool to cry
You're a fool to cry
and it makes me wonder why."
