Verse
G A A7 D
Every since Monday I've seen it coming
G A A7 D
When I say what's wrong She just says nothing
G
But I ain't about to let it go
A A7
Cause I loved her long enough to know
[Refrão]Chorus
D
When momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy
D A
So daddy's gonna make momma happy tonight
A
I've got a limo waiting and dinner reservations
A D
A corner table with some candle light
D
We gonna spend some money I'm gonna call her honey
D G
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
D A
When momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy
A A7 D
So daddy's gonna make momma happy to-night
D G A A7 D
I see in those green eyes her red head temper
D G A A7 D
And she can make July as cold as December
G
Well, I love her every way she is
A A7
But brother, I've discovered in times like these
Go to Chorus, feels like a key change but isn't, just vamp on E
D
When momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy
D A
So daddy's gonna make momma happy tonight
A
I told the baby sitter, fix macaroni dinner
A D
And try to have the kids in bed by nine
D
We gonna spend some money I'm gonna call her honey
D G
I wanna see the sparkle back in her eyes
D A
When momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy
A A7 D
So daddy's gonna make momma happy to-night

When momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy
A A7 D
So daddy's gonna make momma happy to-night
