To Daddy Chords by Emmylou Harris

[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Mama never seemed to miss the finer things of life
If she did, she never did say [Eb] so to Daddy
She never wanted to be more than mother and a wife
If she did, she never did say [Ab] so to Daddy
The only thing that seemed to be important in her life
Was to make our house a home and [Db] make us happy _
Mama never wanted [Ab] any more than what she had
[Eb] If she did, she never did say [Ab] so to Daddy
He often left her all alone
She didn't mind the staying home
If she did, she never did say [Eb] so to Daddy
And she never missed the flowers and the cards he never sent her
If she did, she never did say [Ab] so to Daddy _
Being took for granted was a thing that she accepted
And she didn't need those things to [Db] make her happy
And she didn't seem to [Ab] notice that he didn't give some hold of her
[Eb] If she did, she never did say so [Ab] to Daddy
[Db] One morning we awoke just to find a note
Mama carried it right and left [Eb] with Daddy
And [Db] as he began to read it, her ears could not believe it
The words she had written there [Bbm] to Daddy
[Eb] [Bbm] She [Ab] said the kids are older now, they don't need anything much
Not gonna search for love or need [Db] so badly _ _
I have needed you so long [Ab] but I just can't keep holding on
She never meant to come back home
[Eb] If she did, she never did say so [Db] to Daddy
_ Goodbye _ [Ab] to Daddy _ _ _ _ _ _ _
