The Father-Daughter Dance
C G D
Was only two weeks away
C D G Em
They asked her if she was planning to go
C G D
The only thing she could say was
C D G
My daddy is not around
C G D Em
He’s locked in a jail on the outskirts of town
C D G Em
I wish we could dance on that Saturday night
C G D
But I’ll have to turn it down
C D G
’Cause my daddy is not around
G D Em
The little girl wrote to the sheriff
C G D
Her request was unusual
C D G Em
Would you be willing to put on a dance
C G D
Since my father cannot come to school?
C D G
My daddy is not around
C G D Em
He’s locked in your jail on the outskirts of town
C D G Em
I wish we could dance on that Saturday night
C G D
Please don’t make me turn it down
C D G
’Cause my daddy is not around
G D Em
The dance was held at the prison
C G D C
Her dad wore a shirt and tie He told her
D G Em
“You look like a princess to me
C G D
May I have this dance tonight?”
C D G
And their feet never touched the ground
C G D Em
They forgot where they were on the outskirts of town
C D G Em
They were dancing together on a Saturday night
C G D
He spun her around and around
C D G
And their feet never touched the ground
G D Em
After the final song played
C G D
And the school bus drove away
Em D
Alone in the dark
G C
His heart broken in two
C G D
Her daddy began to pray
C D G
Dear Jesus, my girl needs her dad around
C G D Em
Not locked in a jail on the outskirts of town
C D G Em
Then we could dance every Saturday night
C G D
I don’t want to let her down
C G D
Help me turn my life around
C D G
’Cause my girl needs her dad around
