[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
EOver the horizon came the sounds of a war
The sounds were comin' in Aclear
EFighting on one side was innocent
On the other was an army of Atears
F#mThen from a book came a shower of rain
It Dlooked like a shower of beer
[Chorus]
And AI said Daddy
EDaddy I know that we're Ahere
[Verse 2]
A Eblue colored dust was blowin' around and
Some of it blew into my Aear
And Ethen the pebbles played a symphony 
Of the top hits of the past Ayear
A-F#mtwo hours later I opened my eyes and
DI saw everything real clear
[Chorus] 
And AI said Daddy
EDaddy I know that we're Ahere
[Verse 3]
Oh EI found a lake that was colored red and I
Jumped into it on Aa dare
EFirst I drowned then I was reborn when
I came up for Aair
I F#mdove back down and I looked around I
DI didn't have any fear
[Chorus]
And AI said Daddy
EDaddy I know that we're Ahere
[Verse 4]
EWhile explorin' we found a cave and 
Decided to go in Athere
EWe were welcomed by some hillbilly dudes
Who said that they came from Bel-AAir
F#mOne was very pretty and one was very old and
DOne was as big as a bear
[Chorus]
And AI said Daddy
EDaddy I know that we're Ahere
And AI said Daddy
EDaddy I know that we're Ahere
And AI said Daddy 
EDaddy I know that we're Ahere

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Over the horizon came the sounds of a war

The sounds were comin' in clear

Fighting on one side was innocent

On the other was an army of tears

F#m

Then from a book came a shower of rain

It looked like a shower of beer

[Chorus]

And I said Daddy

E A

Daddy I know that we're here

[Verse 2]

A blue colored dust was blowin' around and

Some of it blew into my ear

And then the pebbles played a symphony

Of the top hits of the past year

F#m

A-two hours later I opened my eyes and

I saw everything real clear

[Chorus]

And I said Daddy

E A

Daddy I know that we're here

[Verse 3]

Oh I found a lake that was colored red and I

Jumped into it on a dare

First I drowned then I was reborn when

I came up for air

F#m

I dove back down and I looked around I

I didn't have any fear

[Chorus]

And I said Daddy

E A

Daddy I know that we're here

[Verse 4]

While explorin' we found a cave and

Decided to go in there

We were welcomed by some hillbilly dudes

Who said that they came from Bel-Air

F#m

One was very pretty and one was very old and

One was as big as a bear

[Chorus]

And I said Daddy

E A

Daddy I know that we're here

And I said Daddy

E A

Daddy I know that we're here

And I said Daddy

E A

Daddy I know that we're here
