I Miss My Daddy Chords by Floyd Taylor

[E] _ _ Oh, [C#] _ yeah, yeah, [A] yeah.
I _ [E] _ _ _ _
was five years old [C#] listening to [C#m] the radio.
I [A] memorized every [E] song you sang.
So the soul and blues, [C#] it's hard to [C#m] feel your shoes
[E] _
[A] and live up [E] to your name.
You was always on the road [C#m] singing the soul out show,
[A] working hard to [E] stay on top. _ _
Everybody called you JT, [C#] but [C#m] Mama and me. _
[A] You were [E] just pops.
I miss my daddy.
I [C#m] never thought you'd leave.
Oh, the [A] songs would [E] never end.
Wish I could turn the page [C#m] and see you back on stage,
singing [A] cheaper to keep up [E] again.
_ Just because you [C#] wasn't [C#m] always [E] there, [A] I want you to know,
I [E] understood.
_ It wasn't easy for you, [C#m] but I know you cared.
You [A] did the best that [E] you could. _ _
Now I'm on my own [C#m] trying to sing your [E] songs.
[A] Listen to the screams of [E] the crowd.
I hope you like what you see [C#m] when you look down on me.
[A] I'm just trying to make [E] you proud.
I miss my dad.
I wish [C#m] that you were here [A] doing the things that we used [E] to do.
But we just ain't the same.
[C#m] Can't nobody sing [A] Little Blue Bird _ [E] like you.
[C] [F] I miss my daddy.
I never [Dm] thought you would leave.
[A#] Oh, the songs would [F] never end.
_ I wish I could turn the page and [Dm] see you back on stage,
[A#] singing less to dollar _ [F] again.
_ I miss my daddy.
_ [Dm] I wish that you were here [A#] doing the things that we used [F] to do. _ _
But we just ain't the same.
[Dm] Can't nobody sing [A#] this old lady _ [F] like you.
I miss my daddy.
Oh, _ [Dm] _ I miss you, pa.
[A#] _ I'm just trying to sing the [F] songs just like you.
I miss my daddy.
Oh, [Dm] I miss my daddy. _ _
[A#] _ _ Ooh, [F] I wish you were here.
Oh, you can tell [Dm] by now that the sun is holding it [A#] down.
Tell the moon [F] that the blue is all right.
_ I'm crying for you, pa.
[Dm] I'm crying for [A#] you.
_ I know you're [F] watching. Yeah, yeah. _
Oh, I miss my [Dm] daddy. _ _
_ [D] Ooh, [A#] _ I miss [F] my pa. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I miss you, pa. _ _ _ _
