CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: C  
GBobby pleaded guilty to the Ccharges that they Gread
As they led him from the courtroom, a Cyoung voice turned his Dhead
A Clittle boy, dressed in blue, was Gstanding at the rCail
He said "I hope they Emkill you. I Chope you Ggo to Dhell."
GThey locked Bobby in a jail with Cforty other mGen
They all knew what he had done, and they were Cglad to take him Din
CThey'd all seen the headlines about GBobby and his Cwife
How they loved each Emother, and Chow he Gtook her Dlife
PRE-CHORUS:
                Em    Em7        C~
Day after day, he sat alone
AmNight after night, they'd Ghear him sing his Dsong, he'd sing
CHORUS:
GBaby, I'll take Ccare of you, I'll never let you Gdown
No harm will ever Ccome to you as long as I'm aDround
EmI am not aCfraid of what Gpeople say or Cdo
The Amonly thing I Emfear is being ChereD

The  little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man
When he fell in love himself, he Ccame to underDstand
CHow it was that Bobby took the Glife they both aCdored
'Cause Bobby couldn't Emstand to see her Csuffer GanyDmore
GHe took out the papers from the Ctrunk beneath his Gbed
And all the years just disappeared as Cthrough his tears he Dread
The Cstories of the accident that Grobbed his mama's Cmind
And the man who held her Emin his arms and Cchose to Gcut the Dline
PRE-CHORUS:
                            Em     Em7        C~
And the one about the man who sits alone
AmYear after year, Gsinging his Dsong      
CHORUS:
GBaby, I'll take Ccare of you, I'll never let you Gdown
No harm will ever Ccome to you as long as I'm aDround
EmI am not aCfraid of what Gpeople say or Cdo
The Amonly thing I Emfear is being ChereD

The  young man drove his car up, and parked outside the gate
They led him to a cold grey room, the Cguard told him to Dwait
CWhen the guard brought Bobby in, the Gyoung man finally Cknew
He still missed his Emmama, but he'd Cmissed his Gdaddy Dtoo
PRE-CHORUS:
                             Em     Em7        C~
When the guard left the two of them alone
AmHe took Bobby in his arms, and the Gyoung man sang his Dsong
CHORUS:
GDaddy, I'll take Ccare of you, I'll never let you Gdown
No harm will ever Ccome to you as long as I'm aDround
EmYou have taught me Cnot to fear what Gpeople say and Cdo
And the Amonly thing that Emhurts is being ChereD
