Daddy Said

G Bm C G

[Verse]

G                                 
Oh, I used to wish I was a hard 
                      Bm
line taker...and they'd say,
Bm
"Six to one a half dozen'll break 
her,"
      C                          
'Till I fell in love with a young 
                  G
man who sang the blues
G
Oh, bless my daddy, he warned me 
well
     Bm
He'd whisper in my ear and say, "Now
 look out, gal...
        C                          
There's always a ne'er do well 
               G
gonna call you the fool"

[Chorus]

                 C                 
He said, "You'll never learn to 
       G
fish on a borrowed line
       C                      
You'll never learn to write if 
        G
you're walkin' 'round cryin'
           C              G
And it's a pity that your lover died
 young, but...
       Cm                       
You'll never get tired of livin' 
 G
alone."

[Verse]

G
So, now I dream of the lover that I 
don't know
Continúa después del anuncio
     Bm
It's safer this way 'cuz I don't 
have to go...
        C                        
Oh, and he won't come...so nobody 
      G
goes away
G
Sometimes I wish for the warmth of 
his hand
       Bm
Take a look in these eyes and 
understand
           C                   
I'm just a little too old to be 
                             G
a-learnin' the rules of the game

[Chorus]

                 C                 
He said, "You'll never learn to 
       G
fish on a borrowed line
       C                      
You'll never learn to write if 
        G
you're walkin' 'round cryin'
           C              G
And it's a pity that your lover died
 young, but...
       Cm                       
You'll never get tired of livin' 
 G
alone."

[Verse]

G
Oh, maybe I could take him to Mexico
     Bm
We'd kick our heels in the warm 
cloudy gulf
            C
He'd sing a song about the weather 
in the Poconos;
G
This lover that I don't know
G
Then two hearts would pound 'stead 
of one in the night
    Bm
I'd learn to fish with my own line
           C                       
Catch that dream and hope that line
       G
 would hold

[Chorus]

                 C                 
He said, "You'll never learn to 
       G
fish on a borrowed line
       C                      
You'll never learn to write if 
        G
you're walkin' 'round cryin'
           C              G
And it's a pity that your lover died
 young, but...
       Cm                       
You'll never get tired of livin' 
 G
alone."
      Cm                       
No, I never get tired of livin' 
 G
alone
             Cm                  
Sometimes my feet get cold...when 
            G
I'm livin' alone...
