D

[Verse 1]
D
 We were poor when I was a youngin', I don't remember ever going hungry
G                                D
 Daddy made sure we didn't do without I went to school with some of these fellas
                                  G                              D
 They had money and I was jealous, I didn't know then what I know now
                A
 Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover
     G                         A
 It's what's inside that really matters


[Chorus]
            G                D
 Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
             Bm     G                A
 He said some things just glitter and shine
                  G            D         A              Bm               
 He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
           G       A        D
 Daddy never was the Cadillac kind


[Verse 2]
D
 I left home right out of high school, got me a big car thought I was real cool
G                               D
 Cruisin' around the old neighborhood, I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday
D
 I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
   G                          D
 He just said no, I never understood
   A
 He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit
G                                A
 Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it


[Chorus]
            G                D
 Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
             Bm     G                A
 He said some things just glitter and shine
                  G            D         A              Bm               
 He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
            G       A        D
 Daddy never was the Cadillac kind


[Bridge]
Bm
 It took a while but now I'm grown
G
 I've settled down with kids of my own
    Em                              A
 The more I give them, the more they want


[Verse 3]
D
 Daddy left us last November
D
 I don't remember him ever looking better
G                          D
 All laid out in his Sunday best
D
 I'm sure instead of all that attention
D
 All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
  G                         D
 A simple man simply laid to rest
        A
 As they drove him away in that big Cadillac
       G                       A
 With a tear in my eye I had to laugh


[Chorus]
            G                D
 Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
             Bm     G                A
 He said some things just glitter and shine
          G            D       A         Bm              
 Just this once, I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride
                   G   A            D
 Cause, Daddy never was the Cadillac kind


[Tag]
                  Em   G            D
 No my Daddy never was, the Cadillac kind
