Did You See My Daddy Over There

C
A little boy tugged gently

F                    C
At a soldier's khaki sleeve


He says forgive me mister

    D7                   G7
But you've been across I believe


C
I see the purple heart you wear

F                           C
That tells what you've been through

F                   A7
Perhaps you know my daddy sir

D7           G7      C
Cause he's a soldier too


               F            C
Did you see my daddy mister soldier

                            G7
When you were fighting over there


I thought perhaps by chance

    C
You met him there in France

   D7
Or somewhere over there

Across the sea


C                 F                C
It's been so long since daddy went away

                                      G7
My mommy longs for him both night and day

  F
I know 'twould make her glad

   C
If you had seen my dad

F              G7         C
Did you see my daddy over there



The soldier's eyes grew misty

F                        C
As he watched the boyish face


For it recalled a memory

D7                G7
That time can not erase


C
A buddy lost in action

F                    C
The best pal he ever had

F                              A7
Till death he carried o'er his heart

D7        G7      C
A picture of this lad


               F            C
Did you see my daddy mister soldier

                            G7
