Havent You Heard chords

Capo 2
 
[Intro]
D D
 
[Chorus 1]
            D      G
Haven't you heard
              D
Daddy's gone crazy
            A               D
Haven't you heard momma is gone
 
 
[Verse 1]
        D             G             D
Here I stand with my finger on his doorbell
                                      A
My mind goes back to what I did last night
           D                 G          D
You see I finally talked his wife into leaving him
                                                        A
And I am just here to convince my conscious that it's alright
       D                     G                  D
And I can see my old friend sitting there just staring

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



                                       A            D
And his little boy's crying words are welded in my mind
 
 
[Chorus 2]
            D      G
Haven't you heard
             D
Daddy's gone crazy
            D   G           D
Haven't you heard momma is gone
               G        D
And either way - I am the loser
      D   G    D      D   G      D
And I've been crying all night long
        A           D
Mister haven't you heard
 
--Modulate to D#--
 
 
[Chorus 3]
             D#    G#
Haven't you heard
               D#
Daddy's gone crazy
            D#  G#          D#
Haven't you heard momma is gone
               G#         D#
And either way - I am the loser
     D#   G#   D#    D#  G#    D#
And I've been crying all night long
        A#         D#
Mister haven't you heard
