David Allan Coe - Single Father 
Capo 1

E
Latley I’ve been spendin’ lots of time with my kid
A
Tellin’ him stories, about the things that we did
     E                                  B7
When we were a family, such a long time ago
     E
I’ve answered his questions, till I’m blue in the face
        A
There’s so many things, time can’t erase
          E                  B7
So I just tell him the truth
                         E 
Cause he not to young to know.

Pre-Chorus:
A
Such is the life, of a Single Father
   E                       
He says tell me dad, if it’s not too much bother
         B7                                   E
Why it’s just you and me, living here in this home
         A
I said I know there just two, when there ought to be three of us
E
Sharing this moments
                     B7
You know son I guess sometimes at night
           E
I feel so alone.

Chorus:
       A
Single Father
              E
And part time mother
             B7
When I’m not one
             E
Then I’m the other
              A
And I used to have
            E
A full time lover
                 B7
Now I’m a Single Father
                E
And a part time mother.

E
Lately I’ve been spendin’ lots of time with my boy
        A                     
There’s no doubt about it, he’s my pride and joy
       
        E                                            B7 
But someday he will grow up, and I won’t have him no more
          E
There was so many I found hard to explain
          A
So I just took him to McDonald’s, or bought him a little train
          E              B7                   E
And we go put it together, on the living room floor.
