When Your Dad Left Your Mom

Biography:

Paul Baribeau's warm, witty sounds and gnarly beard bring something truly unique and interesting to the folk-punk table. The South Central Michigan native collaborates often with friends such as Matty Pop Chart and Kimya Dawson, but has two self-released ("25" and "Unbearable") and two Plan-It-X released ("Paul Baribeau" and "Grand Ledge") solo albums, plus a very interesting Bruce Springsteen covers album.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Same chord progression through the whole song:
in this order G-C-G-C-Am-C-G-C-G

The picking rhythm is very upbeat, it sounds way better tuned down a half step but
standard is fine too.

G
When your dad left your mom
C
you moved into the condo
G
stayed there while he was gone
C
We stayed up late watching cable
Am
And we swam in the pool
C
We ate all his food
G
Yeah we had so much fun
C G
When your dad left your mom

G
When your dad left your mom
C
She had to sell the house
G
We stayed up all night long
C
helping her move everything out
Am
In your empty bedroom upstairs
C
You kissed me like you didn't care
G
Hey what else could possibly go wrong?
C G
When your dad left your mom

When your dad left your mom
Your little brother stayed with us
We helped him get his homework done
We got him up and ready for the bus
It was just for a few days
While your mom moved into the new place
And did what had to get done
When your dad left your mom

When your dad left your mom
You'd get so quiet sometimes
You'd say that nothing was wrong
Like I couldn't see it in your eyes
But every once in a while
I could still get you to smile
And I wrote you this stupid song
When your dad left your mom
