D
Daddy was a country singer
                                        G                Em
And he wrote the songs that everybody played back in his day
         D
Daddy's gone but the songs still linger
                                    G                 Em
In the memory of the ones who can recall the way he played
       A                                    Bm            A
But I don't want to make no living off the ones my daddy had
                             F#         Bm              A
Hey just because the old is good don't mean the new is bad

             D                G                            D
And I don't sing the way my daddy did but you know I do alright
                             G   Em            D          D
And I don't say it like my daddy    did but I need you tonight

        D
All my life I've been on stages you won't believe some of the places
            G           Em
That I've played in my days
               D
I guess I've earned a lot of wages but not enough to match the dues
           G          Em
That I've paid in my days
          A                            F#       Bm               A
And it's nice to find some people like you as I go from town to town
                                                    Bm        A
Cause as long as ya all are with me you know I'll always be around

            D                G                            D
No I don't sing it like my daddy did hey you know I do alright
                            G    Em            A          D    | A | Bm A |
And I don't say it like my daddy    did but I need you tonight
                         G                                   D    Em
I don't sing it like my daddy did but you know I still do alright
                            G                     A          D
And I don't say it like my daddy did but I still need you tonight
