[Intro]
G x4 Cadd9 x2 G x2
G
We were poor when I was a youngun
I don't remember ever going hungry
Cadd9 G
Daddy made sure we didn't do without
G
I went to school with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous
Cadd9 G
I didn't know then what I know now
D
Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover
C D
It's what's inside that really matters
CHORUS
G Cadd9
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
C D
He said some things just glitter and shine
G Cadd9 C
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
D G
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/confederate-railroad/270112.html ]
G
I left home right out of high school
Bought me a big car thought I was real cool
Cadd9 G
Cruisin' around the old neighborhood
G
I'd see Dad after church on Sunday
I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
Cadd9 G
He just said no, I never understood
D
He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit
C D
Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it
REPEAT CHORUS
G
It took a while but now I'm grown
Cadd9
I've settled down with kids of my own
C
The more I give them
D
The more they want
G
Daddy left us last November
I don't remember him ever looking better
Cadd9 G
All laid out in his Sunday best
G
I'm sure instead of all the attention
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
Cadd9 G
A simple man simply laid to rest
D
As they drove him away in that big Cadillac
C D
With a tear in my eye I had to laugh
REPEAT CHORUS
