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
