INTRO: G  D  G  D  G

D                                        G
Daddy's been a back-row Baptist with his share of front-row sin
      D                                         A                     A7
Those Saturday nights still on his breath every Sunday when he'd walk in
           D                                    D/F#   G
He's never led the benediction, he's never sang in the choir
            D             G        A               D      G   D   G
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire

D                            G
Mama lives by the bible, the bible lives by the bed
      D                              A                 A7
She's lied alone so many nights with scr i ptures in her head
        D                                      D/F#     G
Prayin' Good Lord just be with him, I know his faith is tired
            D             G        A               D    D7
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire


CHORUS:
      G               A              Bm 
And I know he lives a little left of livin' right
    G                  A             D
And he's come close to goin' way too far a few times
        Bm               D                   G                 D
But I'd trade a thousand prayers if just one prayer would come true
     Em       D/F#   G            A          D    G            
Lord please believe in him like I believe in You

D                                      G
Daddy's always been there for me, from tee-ball to touchdowns
D                                    A                   A7
Fixed my car and fixed my heart when they've been broken down
          D                                           D/F# G
I know he calls for more foregiveness than most folks do  require
            D             G        A               D     D7
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire


CHORUS

     D                         G
Well I just can't imagine what Heaven might be like
   D                           A            A7
If me and Mama make it without Daddy by our side
     D                                           D/F#    G
Lord could you please remember when it's time to call us higher
             D             G        A 
That he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire
