[D] [A]
If my dad could only hear
These words I have to [Bm] say
If I could make him [E] understand
How much he means [A] to me
Since my first day at school
My dad was always [Bm] there
I could always count [E] on him
A friend till [A] the end
We never missed a thing
His family was all [Bm] he had
He worked from dusk [E] till dawn
So thanks to my [A] dad
If my dad could only hear
These words I have [Bm] to say
If I could make him [E] understand
How much he [A] means to me
Since my first day at school
My dad was [Bm] always there
I could always count [E] on him
A friend till [Am] the end
[A] He gave us all his love
Day [Bm] after day
If we all achieve [E] in life
We follow [A] these ways
If my dad could only hear
These words I have [Bm] to say
If I could make him [E] understand
How much he [A] means to me
Since my first day at school
My dad was [Bm] always there
I could always count [E] on him
A friend till [A] the end
This is for the three grown
You showed thanks [Bm] baby
[E]
[A]
[Bm]
[E]
[A] They say I've got his ways
Like my [D] mama [A] says
[D]
It makes me [E] so proud
To look like [A] my dad
[Bm] [A] If my dad could only hear
These words I [Bm] have to say
If I could make him [E] understand
How much he [A] means to me
Since my first day at school
My dad was [Bm] always there
I could always count [E] on him
A friend [A] till the end
If my dad could only hear
These words I [Bm] have to say
If I could make him [E] understand
How much he [A] means to me
Since my first day at school
My dad was [Bm] always there
I could always [E] count on him
A friend [A] till the end
If my dad is my [Bm] best friend
[E]
A friend [A] till the end
[A]
