[Verse 1]
D
The Declaration of Independence
                                                          G
Think I could tell you that first sentence but then I'm lost
D
I can't begin to count the theories
            C            G
I've had pounded in my head that I forgot

           A
I don't remember all that Spanish
            G
Or The Gettysburg Address
              A
But there is one speech from high school
       G*
I'll never forget

[Chorus]
  D              A
Come on in boy, sit on down
      G               A
And tell me about yourself
         D                       A
So you like my daughter, do you now?
          G                     A
Yeah, we think she's something else

            Em
She's her daddy's girl

Her momma's world
       G
She deserves respect
       D                        Em
Thats what she'll get, ain't it son?

                          A
Now, y'all run along and have some fun
      G
I'll see you when you get back
         D           A*
Bet I'll be up all night
                     D    G D

[Verse 2]
       D
Well, now that I'm a father
                C                 G
I'm scared to death one day my daughter
           D                              C
Is gonna find that teenage boy I used to be
                         G                 D
That seems to have just one thing on his mind

              A
She's growin' up so fast
                    G
It won't be long before
        A
Yeah, I'll have to put the fear of God
      G
Into some kid at the door

       D               A
Yeah, come on in boy, sit on down
     G              A
And tell me about yourself
         D                   A
So you like my daughter, do you now?
           G                    A
Yeah, we think she's something else

            Em
She's her daddy's girl

Her momma's world
        G
She deserves respect
        D                             Em
That's what she'll get, now ain't it son?

                       A
Now y'all go out and have some fun
          G
I'll see you when you get back
         D           A
Probably be up all night
                 D
Still cleaning this gun

              A
Now it's all for show
                        G
Ain't nobody gonna get hurt
             Em
It's just a daddy thing
     A                G*
And hey, believe me, man, it works

[Chorus]
  D              A
Come on in boy, sit on down
     G                A
And tell me about yourself
         D                   A

That's what she'll get, ain't it son?

                     A
Ya'll run along and have a little fun
          G
And I'll see you when you get back
         D           A
Probably be up all night
