Dirty Dishes

Intro: D G (2x) 


D                        G 
  Mama hollers  Supper time 
             A                 D 
  And don't make me tell you twice 
                                 G       
  Wash your hands and wipe your face 
D                                G 
  The table's no place for your toys 
              A                D 
  And try to use your inside voice 
                             G       
  Don't dig in 'til we say Grace 
Em                               A 
  So we put down our forks and bowed our heads 
Em                                    A 
  And then she prayed the strangest prayer ever said 

  
            D 
  I wanna thank You Lord 
G             A            D 
  For noisy children and slamming doors 
G              A              D 
  And clothes scattered all over the floor 
G            A               Bm 
  A husband workin' all the time 
               A             G 
  Draggin' in dead tired at night 
                         Em      A 
  An never ending messy kitchen 
              D       G       D      G 
  And dirty dishes 

  
D                             G 
  We all got real still and quiet 
       A                        D 
  And daddy asked Honey, you alright? 
                                 G 
  She said There ain't nothing wrong 
D                       G 
  Noisy kids are happy kids 
                A                   D 
  And slamming doors just means we live 
                        G 
  In a warm and loving home 
Em                           A 
  Your long hours and those dishes in the sink 
Em                 A 
  Means a job and enough to eat 


            D 
  I wanna thank You Lord 
G             A            D 
  For noisy children and slamming doors 
G              A              D 
  And clothes scattered all over the floor 
G            A               Bm 
  A husband workin' all the time 
               A             G 
  Draggin' in dead tired at night 
                         Em       A 
  An never ending messy kitchen 

  
                 D 
  For my little busy bees 
G          A          D 
  Beggin' mama, mama can you please? 
G         A              D 
  Always wantin' me and callin' me 
G           A             Bm 
  Loads of laundry pilin' up 
            A               G 
  Crayons crushed into the rug 
                          Em     A 
  In those little sticky kisses 
             D       G 
  And dirty dishes 
             D       G      D 
  And dirty dishes
