These are Dont Make Me Have To Come Down There chords by Dolly Parton on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
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 2]
     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
You've always been my
 D
 cross to bear

I've let you try my patience
    G
 as all good fathers do
       A
You're on my last nerve,
 I have had it up to
here with you

[Verse 3]
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
            D
divide 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
Don't make me have to
           G
 come down there
(Don't make me)
   A
My children, you had
        D
 best beware
 (Don't make me)

Clean up this mess and
                  G
 put on 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
My children,
                D
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]
D
Don't make me have
to come down there
Don't make me come
down there
Don't make me have
 to come down there
Don't make me,
 don't make me
Don't make me have
to come down there
Don't make me have
 to come down there
Don't make me come
 down there
Don't make me have
to come down there
Don't make me,
 don't make me
Don't make me have
 to come down there
