A brilliant song from the lengendary Paul Anka. My first tab attempt. Any questions or suggestions are welcome. bigbaddave89@hotmail.com Still more to come! Intro Em Em Am B7 Em Verse 1 Em Everyday my Papa would work Am To help to make ends meet B7 To see that we would eat Em Keep those shoes upon my feet Em Every night my Papa would take me Am And tuck me in my bed B7 Kiss me on my head Em After all my prayers were said Em Growing up with him was easy Am Time just flew on by B7 The years began to fly Em He aged and so did I Chorus C B7 Em I could tell, that Mama wasn't well C Am Em Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she... C B7 Em When she died, Papa broke down and cried C Am Em All he said was, "God, why not take me?" Verse 2 Em Everynight he sat there sleeping Am In his rocking chair B7 He never went upstairs Em All because she wasn't there Em Then one day my Papa said, "Son, Am I'm proud the way you've grown... B7 Make it on your own... Em Oh, I'll be ok alone."
