Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I don't  have much to say
 Thought I'd call  you up any-way
 Just to  try to show  you the way
That  I feel today
 Oh, I miss  you ba-by
 I sure  am on the road
 I don't need  to say much more
 Just the same  old well-known stranger
That  I was before
 It seems like yesterday now
 Daddy's  all gone
 Only  halfway home
 He's holding  on to the telephone
 Saying, Please  don't let  the show go  on.
 There's a bus every other hour
 There's even the midnight train
 But that don't leave me the power
 To see your face again
 It's not that simple
 You see, there's a room full of smiling faces
 There's a man standin' by the door
 Says it's time to change our places
 And get down on the floor
 Kill ',  baby ]
 Daddy's all gone ]
 He's just halfway home
 He's holding on to the microphone
 Singing, Please don't make the show go on.
