[Intro]
G D A7 D
 
 
[Verse]
D
My papa was a hobo when they delivered me
G                                D
We didn't have a doctor cause he couldn't pay the fee
G                                 D
But when the goin' got too bad to ease his misery
A7                         D
Papa played the dobro this way
G
And he'd go...
 
[Interlude]
G D A7 D
 
 
[Verse]
D
When company would come around, he kept the dobro hid
G                                    D
He knew he couldn't play the way the other players did
        G                        D
Why the guitar's resonator was a gallon bucket lid
    A7                         D
But Papa played the dobro this way
G
And he'd go...
 
[Interlude]
G D A7 D
 
 
[Verse]
D
Well now that Papa's gone away, it's hanging by the flue
G                               D
The top of it is busted and the strings are rusted, too
G                                  D
It will never sound the way it did the day that it was new
     A7                         D
When Papa played the dobro this way
G
And he'd go...
 
[Interlude]
G D A7 D
 
 
[Ending]
          Bm                   G
No, he'll never play that way again
     D                                      A7
He's left behind more friends that he won't have to win
    Bm                     G
Sometimes we sit and talk awhile
 D                      A7
About the way he made us smile
NC
When he played....
 
[Interlude]
G D A7 D
 
NC
So he'll play.....
