Daddy's Song
K. Kristofferson
Album: To the Bone


INTRO: D  D/C#  Bm  G  A  D  A7

D                   F#m
I got a day without nothing to do
G                    D
Do not disturb on my door
G                     D             Bm
I sorta look for some mess that she made
       E                         A7
Or her sweet little socks on the floor
    D                         F#m
But all that she left here is too many rooms
G                      D
Just enough silence to break
A
And I can't look at her picture right now
                       D    (A7)
Time's about all I can take


Last night I sort up her toys that were torn
And packed her suitcase again
She looked so sweet as she lay there asleep
Smilin', holdin' my hand
We didn't talk all the way to the plane
But she's too big now to cry
Then when I kissed her, she held me so tight
I couldn't tell her goodbye


CHORUS:
         G                      D
She said I wish that we lived together again
A                      D    D7
We'll get so lonesome apart
G                    D
I'm missin' somebody all of the time
A                       D
Daddy, it's breakin' my heart


BREAK: G  D  Bm  E  A7


It's not so bad out here, livin' alone
Comfort's a stranger away
And there's a freedom you find on your own
It's nearly worth what you've paid
It's just a shame she still wants us to be
All that we seemed to before
But we can't blame her for makin' believe
Somethin' we don't anymore


CHORUS
