Daddys Drinking Up Our Christmas Chords & Lyrics - Tommy Hester

[INTRO]
[D] [A] [E7] [A]

[VERSE 1]
[A]A gentle snow came [A7]drifting down
that [D]falls on skid row [A]too
And [D]on the curb there [A]sat a child
His little cheeks turned [E7]blue
He [A]watched the neon [A7]cross the way
Looked [D]up and said to [A]me
Daddy's [D]drinking up our [A]Christmas
In that [E7]bar across the [A]street [A7]

[CHORUS]
In that [D]bar across the street
There's a [A]woman Daddy [A7]knows
And [D]every time it's [A]payday night
That's where Daddy [E7]goes
I [A]left my Momma [A7]cryin'
She [D]cried herself to [A]sleep
Daddy's [D]drinking up our [A]Christmas
In that [E7]bar across the [A]street

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[D] [A] [E7] [A]

[VERSE 2]
I [A]stood there on the [A7]corner
A [D]sick man down and [A]sad
You [D]see, I'd just been [A]heading
To that bar the child de[E7]scribed
But [A]here's one foolish [A7]father
That [D]honky tonks won't [A]beat
It [D]could have been my [A]son who spoke
These [E7]words upon the [A]street [A7]

[CHORUS]
In that [D]bar across the street
There's a [A]woman Daddy [A7]knows
And [D]every time it's [A]payday night
That's where Daddy [E7]goes
I [A]left my Momma [A7]cryin'
She [D]cried herself to [A]sleep
Daddy's [D]drinking up our [A]Christmas
In that [E7]bar across the [A]street
