Chords for Darrell McCall - Down The Roads of Daddy's Dreams

_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Barefoot, _ running across the fields of Alabama's fresh plowed ground.
_ _ [D] _ _
Jumping rows [E] and stubbing toes, _ _ I'd run that old [A] mule down _ _ _ _ and daddy up his water jug.
_ And he'd say, boy, my throat sure is dry.
_ _ _ [D] _
He'd take out his old [E] bandana and _ _ he'd wipe the sweat [A] from his eyes.
[C#] _ _
[D] I'd take hold [E] of his calloused hands and we'd go [A] sit [A] down in the shade. _ _
_ [D] _ And he'd [E] tell me about the places [B]
that [E] _ we were gonna see [A] someday. _ _
_ _ When he'd talk [D] about the _ ocean, _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ the simple words [E] he'd paint a picture
_ _ of a place he'd [A] never _ been.
And those skies [D] were as clear _ as _ [A] the sea on _ the days when we'd [E] go walking down _ the road to [A] daddy's tree.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] _
[A] My _ daddy's gone away now [C#m] and his dreams are [A] mine alone. _ _ _
[D] And I've sure come a long, [E] long way _ _ from my Alabama home.
[B] _ [A] _
I've traveled across [E] this country, _ Lord only [A] knows how many [D] times. _ _
_ _ _ But I've never [E] found pictures _ _ that my daddy painted [A] in my mind. _
_ _ [F#m] When he'd talk [D] about the ocean, _ _ _ I'd hear the tide come rolling [A] in. _
_ _ The simple [F#m] words he'd [E] paint a picture of _ a place he'd [A] never _ been.
And those skies were as clear _ _ _ [D] _ _
as _ _ _ _ [A] the sea on _ _ the days when [E] we'd go walking _ _ down the road to [D] daddy's tree.
