[D] [A]
[D] [A] Barefoot, running across a field of Alabama fresh plowed ground.
[D]
Jumping [E] rows and stubbing toes, I'd run that [A] old mule down,
hand Daddy up his water jug.
He'd say, boy, my throat sure is dry.
Pull out his old [E] bandana and wipe the sweat from his eyes.
[D] I'd take hold [E] of his calloused hands and we'd [A] go sit down in the [D] shade.
And he'd tell me about the places that we were gonna see [A] someday.
We'd talk [D] about the ocean and hear the tide come [A] rolling in.
With simple words he'd [E] paint a picture of a place he'd [A] never been.
And the skies [D] were ever bluer than the ones that [A] I have seen
on the days that we'd go [E] walking down the roads [A] of Daddy's dreams.
[D] [A]
[D] [A]
Daddy's gone away now and his [F#m]
dreams are mine [A] alone.
[D] And I've sure come a long, long [E] way from my Alabama [A] home.
[D] I've traveled across [E] this country, [A] Lord only knows [D] how many times.
But I've never found [E] the pictures my Daddy painted [A] in my mind.
We'd talk [D] about the ocean and hear the tide come [A] rolling in.
With simple words [E] he'd paint a picture of a place [A] he'd never [F#m] been.
And the skies [D] were ever bluer than the ones that [A] I have seen
on the days that [E] we'd go walking down the roads of [D] Daddy's dreams.
