My Daughter’s Father 
Gord Bamford
Album: Day Job

Capo 1

Intro: A

   F#m                      D
I guess its human nature, tuggin’ at my sleeve
      A                                E
That gets me thinking too much, ‘bout what I’m supposed to be
F#m                          D
I keep aiming higher, like everybody else
 A                                E           A
Forgetting what I need to be, is just to be myself

Chorus: 

A               D                     A
It’s not like everybody’s waiting to see if I’ll go far
                D                               E
It’s not like everybody’s watching, though sometimes I think they are
         D                        A                        F#m
I don’t have to change the world, I don’t have to walk on water
       A      E                    A
All I have to be is my daughter’s father

       F#m                 D
She’s just like her mama, when it comes to me
          A                          E
Couldn’t fool her if i tried to, to her I’ll always be
F#m                          D
Nothing more than daddy and when she says that word
       A                    E                A
It a wonderful reminder of why I’m on this earth

Repeat chorus

  F#m                       D
A man is often measured by what he does in life
F#m                                E
It made mine worth living when I realized

Repeat chorus

D     E            A
Yeah all I have to be
