Dont Make Me Have To Come Down There Chords by Dolly Parton

[Intro]

D
 
 
[Verse]

D
Last night I had a dream about God
D
He was standing on a mountain top
D
Looking down, around in such dismay
    A
And in my dream I heard him say
 
 
[Chorus]

       D
"Don't make me have to come down there
   A                 D
My children, you had best beware
D
If you don't pay attention, 

consequences will be dire
      A
Don't make me have to come down there"
 
 
[Verse]

     D
I've told you time and time again
A             D
You can't disobey and hope to win
                         
I am still the boss here, 
   G
in case there's any doubt
    A
You know I put you in this world, 

and I can take you out
 
 
[Chorus]

      D
Don't make me have to come down there
       A              D
You've always been my cross to bear
                               
I've let you try my patience as 
G
all good fathers do
       A
You're on my last nerve, 

I have had it up to here with you
 
 
[Verse]

D
I gave you a book, 

you didn't read it 

(You didn't read it)
D
I gave you my word, 

you didn't heed it 

(You didn't heed it)
D
Gave you a map, you said

 you didn't need it 

(You didn't need it)
    A
And now you've lost direction, 

and you're wandering aimlessly
 
 
[Chorus]

      D
Don't make me have to 

come down there (Don't make me)
A             D
This is not a game of truth or dare

 (Don't make me)
D
Now, I don't want to punish you, 

but if it has to be
A
This is gonna hurt you 

more than it hurts me
 
 
[Chorus]

      D
Don't make me have to 

come down there
A                       
Bridge this great divide 
    D
and make repairs
D
Go to your room and pray 

'til you can learn to play fair
      A
Don't make me have to 

come down there

 (Come down there)
 
 
[Bridge]

D
Politics, earthquakes,

 erratic weather
D
Pandemics, war, and hate, 

still, you'd rather
D
Turn a deaf ear, a blind eye; 

I am wondering whether
A
I should take my Bible belt and 

whip you into shape
 
 
[Chorus]

      D                         G
Don't make me have to come down there 

(Don't make me)
   A                        D
My children, you had best beware 

(Don't make me)
                             
Clean up this mess and put on 
          G
something decent to wear
      A
Don't make me have to come down there 

(Don't make me have to come down there)
      D
Don't make me have to come down there
   A                        D
My children, you had best beware

 (Don't make me)
D
Why can't you learn to listen and 

learn to love and share?
      A
Don't make me have to 

come down there
 
 
[Outro]

 N.C.
Don't make me have to 

come down there
N.C.
Don't make me come down there
N.C.
Don't make me have to 

come down there
N.C.
Don't make me, 

don't make me
N.C.
Don't make me have to 

come down there
N.C.
Don't make me have to 

come down there
N.C.
Don't make me

 come down there
N.C.
Don't make me have to 

come down there
N.C.
Don't make me, 

don't make me
N.C.
Don't make me have to 

come down there
