       Am
Well, once when I was eight
     E
everything was going great
            C                      F
until my father, he tried to kill me
        Am
By the time that I was nine
     E
my daddy was doing time
         C                           F
and my mother had enlisted in the army


   Am          G                 C
I wish my father had loved me more


       Am
By the time that I was ten
          E
my dad's life was going to end
        C                   F
'cause he was going on ninety
        Am
By the time I was eleven
    E
my daddy was up in heaven
       C                        F
in the clouds, staring down at me


       Am         G           C
And I can't help but miss him
       Am       G             C
Even though he hit me everyday
        Am       G                   C
And he tried to hang me with a belt once
        Am             G            C
And he took nude photographs of my body


            C                                                 Am
And by the time that I was twelve, I had made my first million
            C                                                  Am
And by the time that I was fourteen, I had found the cure to cancer
            C                                                   Am
And by the time that I was fourteen, I was the president of the country
            C                                                    Am
And by the time that I was fifteen, I was the champion of the world


         Am       G              C
So I'm glad my daddy didn't love me
         Am       G                C
And I'm glad that he tried to kill me
         Am       G                  C
And I'm glad he took those pictures of me
      Am       G               C
I am glad my daddy didn't love me
            Am      G      C
I said I'm glad my daddy didn't love me

Biography

AJJ (formerly Andrew Jackson Jihad) is an American folk/punk/rock group from Phoenix, Arizona, formed in 2004. Andrew Jackson Jihad was formed after its original drummer, Justin James White, approached Sean Bonnette and Ben Gallaty, who had just left Rodan (not the Rodan of Kentucky fame) and The Sub-Standards. Since then, many significant Arizona musicians have sat in with the remaining duo of Sean and Ben, including John De La Cruz of Fatigo and Asleep In The Sea’s Owen Evans. Dylan Cook also plays mandolin regularly with the band.
