Daddy by Johnny Cash
Daddy
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
A E
His deeds were never published for the public
A
The things he did were never done for show
E
His name was never printed in the paper
B7 E
Until about two days ago
A E
He only filed a short form for his taxes
A
No one asked him how he felt about the war
E
He always had a good word for his neighbor
B7 E
Now his good words won't be heard anymore
[Chorus]
D A
And through the rain I heard the choir singing Nearer my God to Thee
D A
Through the mist I saw some children crying
E A
And I felt nearer my God to Thee
[Verse]
A E
His table was never full of plenty
A
His silverware was never the real thing
E
But the tears on the faces of his family
B7 E
Were just as real as if he were a king
A E
The preacher said he'd always been a good man
A
But preachers love to throw that phrase around
E
But the tears I tasted gave his words new meaning
B7 E
Watching old friends puttin' daddy in the ground
[Chorus]
D A
And through the rain I heard the choir singing Nearer my God to Thee
D A
Through the mist I saw some children crying
E A
And I felt nearer my God to Thee
