My Daddy Never Was

G  Bm  C  D

[Verse]
   G                               
My boss'll tell you that I've been 
   Bm
to work all week on time
    C                          
And I ain't had no liquor on my 
 G
breath
G                                 
Ain't no kind of secret I've been 
Bm
known to take a drink
         C                         
And it's made me do some things 
     D
that I regret
 C                                 
Loretta said this ain't no kind of 
G
way to raise a family
        C                        
And one night she called it quits 
              D
and called a cab
             C                 
She left the clothes out on the 
                      G
clothes line and the dishes in the 
sink
     C                             
So I guess she knows that she ain't
        D
 comin' back

[Chorus]
           G                       
But I just wanna see my kids, I 
  Bm
just wanna hold my girls
       C                        
Heaven knows I ain't got much of 
         D
nothin' else in this whole world
Continúa después del anuncio
       G                         
I just wanna be around enough to 
Bm
know that they've been loved
       C                  D       
I just wanna be the daddy   my 
         G
daddy never was

[Instrumental]
G  Bm  C  D

[Verse]
    G                              
Now lately she's been knowing this 
    Bm
ol' boy she met in church
    C                          
And I can't say she's wrong for 
         D
wantin' more
       G                           
I gave him the right to tell my 
       Bm
wife that I can't come around
    C                            
The night I knocked a hole in her 
       D
front door
       C                        
And Loretta took my keys and she 
 G
made me wait outside
        C                      
But she didn't call the law she 
          D
called a cab
    C                      G
And as I pulled away I saw somethin'
 in her eyes
   C                               
So I reckon that she knows I ain't 
   D
so bad

[Chorus]
           G                       
But I just wanna see my kids, I 
  Bm
just wanna hold my girls
       C                        
Heaven knows I ain't got much of 
         D
nothin' else in this whole world
       G                         
I just wanna be around enough to 
Bm
know that they've been loved
       C                  D       
I just wanna be the daddy   my 
         G
daddy never was

[Bridge]
   G                               
My boss'll tell you that I've been 
   Bm

    C                           D 
(let ring)
And I ain't had no liquor on my 
breath
