Dale Ann Bradley - Daddy Did His Best


Capo 1


Verse 1:                                                      
G                  D              C                G
I remember when my daddy work all day for just a dollar
                                                       D
And he never saved a penny but at least the bills were paid
G                     D                C                  G 
And I've never seen a man work half as hard and come home half as tired 
C                     D            G
Then give the Lord a tenth of all made


Chorus:
D                                       G
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
C                                                              D
And so many times he's told this old world is not his not his home                
G                       D           C                G
And he told he'd been promised he'd receive a fare reward 
C                                D              G
Daddy did best then he left the rest up to the Lord


Verse 2:
I've never seen a man that had more reason for complaint
But he'd smile at me explaining how he never walked alone
When they called me to his  bed I remember how my daddy
Just looked up and smiled and said I'm going home


Chorus:


Verse 3:
Since my daddy left this world for one much better
I've been watching people worrying more and working for the things they can't afford
And this world that's filled with problems, no ones ever found the answer 
To the things my daddy left up to the Lord

  
Chorus:
