Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast

G                                 
The love between the two of us was 
Am
dying
G                               
And it got so bad I knew I had to 
   Am
leave
G                       Em      
But halfway down that highway 
Am                   D
when I turned around I saw
G                     C          G
My little daughter running after me

Crying

G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
C
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
G            D           C      
Daddy, slow down some 'cause 
             D
you're makin' me run
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast

G                                 
Now, it broke my heart to tell my 
          Am
little daughter

G                                 
That her daddy had to run to catch
     Am
 a train
G                     Em     
She had no way of knowin' I was 
    Am                  D
leavin' home for good
G                    C           
I turned around and there she was
   G
 again
         D7
As she said to me

G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
C
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
G            D           C      
Daddy, slow down some 'cause 
             D
you're makin' me run
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast

G                              
If only for the sake of my sweet 
      Am
daughter
G                                 
I just had to turn back home right
             Am
 there and then
G                          Em    
And try to start a new life with 
    Am                 D
the mother of my child
G                     C          
I couldn't bear to hear those 
     G
words again
            D7
She cried and said

G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
(My daughter cried)
C
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
G            D           C      
Daddy, slow down some 'cause 
             D
you're makin' me run
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast

G            D           C      
Daddy, slow down some 'cause 
             D
you're makin' me run
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
