D                               G            D
A boy walks past a window of a glowin' open sign
         Bm                                  G
Full of wooden toys and trucks and painted trains
         D                               G              D
Rings a bell up on the counter, hands a picture to the man
     Bm            A                G
Of a kid beside a soldier smiling away
       Bm               A                 G
Said, "Sir, I've heard you can build anything"

G                     D
Could you build me a daddy?
           A
Strong as Superman
         Bm                    A
Make him ten feet tall with a southern drawl
       G
And a crooked smile if you can
               D
'Cause I sure miss him
                 A
Maybe you could bring him back?
            Bm                 A              G
If I walked in with him, it'd sure make mama happy
                         D    D
If you could build me a daddy

D                                           G              D
There's an old Winchester rifle, back home hangin' on the wall
    Bm                               G
He promised me he'd teach me how to aim
        D                               G                 D
And he said when I got older, we could work on that curveball
   Bm              A            G
I know he'd never wanna miss a game
    Bm              A               G
So here's a little money that I've saved

G                     D
Could you build me a daddy?
           A
Strong as Superman
         Bm                    A
Make him ten feet tall with a southern drawl
       G
And a crooked smile if you can

               D
'Cause I sure miss him
                 A
Maybe you could bring him back?
            Bm                 A              G
If I walked in with him, it'd sure make mama happy
                         D
If you could build me a daddy

D          Bm                   A         G
Give him a big heart, make his arms wide open
           D                           A
I know he misses me, so mister, I was hopin'

A                     D
You could build me a daddy
           A
Strong as Superman
         Bm                    A
Make him ten feet tall with a southern drawl
       G
And a fishing pole in his hand

               D
'Cause I sure miss him
                 A
Maybe you could bring him back?
            Bm                 A                 G
If I walked in with him, it'd sure make my mama happy
                             D   D
If you could you build me a daddy

D
