verse 1 
C 
There are times to remember 
                 G          Am    F 
And times that I wish to forget 
C                                 G           Am    F 
Our time together was tinged with love and regret 
Dm         G 
Oh, my girl 
    Am                    G 
My sweet, sweet little girl 

C 
Didn't I try to tell ya that life was for living? 
    F 
Oh, didn't I? 
C 
And wasn't I the guy who said 'stay away from that tribe'? 
    F 
Oh, wasn't I? 
C 
And didn't I try to tell you 'that's stuffs gonna kill ya'? 
    F 
Oh, didn't I? 
C 
But you thought it was cool and I was just an old fool 
    F 
Oh, look at ya

         C                                G              Am    F 
You left home for the city with Hollywood stars in your eyes 
         C                                             G       Am    F 
Now your mother, God bless her, cries herself to sleep every night 
Dm       G      Am               G 
Oh my girl, my sweet innocent girl 
 
C 
Didn't I search the streets for the beggars, pimps and cheats? 
    F 
Oh, didn't I? 
C 
And didn't I try to guide you to a baptism of fire? 
    F 
Oh, didn't I? 
C 
And didn't I try to warn ya 'bout that folk in California? 
    F 
Oh, didn't I? 
C 
But you said 'daddy, please don't worry, I got friends out there who love me' 
    F 
Now look at ya

Didn't I do the best for you, try to make you stay in school?

Once I was your hero but I went from ten to zero

      C 
For a roll on the dice you nearly paid the ultimate price 
F 
Oh, didn't ya? 
      C                                                 F 
Now I stand by your bedside, watching you fight for you life
