CAPO 11 This is my first tab so please comment. INTRO: GCGC G C I woke up crying late at night G C when I was very young. G C I had dreamed my father G D had passed away and gone. G C My world revolved around him G C I couldnt lay there anymore. G C So I made my way down the mirrored hall G D G and tapped upon his door. CHORUS Bm G And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid Bm G how will I go on with you gone that way? Bm Don't wanna cry anymore G Am D so may I stay with you?" G D G And he said "That's my job, D G that's what I do. C D G C Everything I do is because of you, G D Bm To keep you safe with me. G C G That's my job you see." G C Later we barely got along G C this teenage boy and he. G Most of the fights it seems C were over different dreams, G D we each held for me. G C He wanted knowledge and learning. G C I wanted to fly out west. G Said, "I could make it out there C if I just had the fare. G D G I got half, will you loan me the rest?" [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/twitty-conway/245317.html ] CHORUS Bm G And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid, Bm G there's no guarantee in the plans Bm I've made and if I should fail, G Am D who will pay my way back home?" G D G And he said "That's my job D G that's what I do. C D G C Everything I do is because of you G D Bm to keep you safe with me. G C G That's my job you see." BRIDGE Em D Every person carves his spot C D G and fills the hole with light. C D G And I pray someday I might C D light as bright as he. G C Woke up early one bright fall day G C to spread the tragic news. G C After all my travel, I settled down G D within a mile or two. G C I make my living with words and rhyme G D and all this tragedy G C Should go into my head and out instead D G as bits of poetry. CHORUS Bm G But I say "Daddy, I'm so afraid, Bm G how will I go on with you gone this way? G D How can I come up with a song to say C D I love you?" G D G D G That's my job, That's what I do C D G C Everything I do is because of you G D Bm to keep you safe with me. G C G That's my job you see. C D G C Everything I do is because of you G D Bm to keep you safe with me. GCG |
