[G]
[A] [D]
I'd love to hear my daddy play [G]
once again
All the songs [D] that he taught me when I [A] was a kid
[D] John Henry, old Shep, and [G] Faded Love
I fall to pieces [A] on the wings of [D] a dove
Just a few chords on the banjo, [G] well that was all he knew
But in the eyes [D] of a child, man his [A] fingers flew
So I [D] practiced, and I practiced till [G] I got it right
I [F#m] backed up everything, [A] just took [D] off one night
[G]
[D]
[A] [D]
[G]
[A]
[D] I made it [A] from the beer [G] joints to the opera stage
But he [D] said the only difference was you getting [A] paid
And [D]
he didn't care that [G] everybody knew my name
He [D] said it's all for nothing if you don't stay the same
When he died the preacher cried [G] and said he's the lucky one
Well [D] he's walking hand in hand with [A] God's only son
My [D] faith and common sense tell me [G] the preacher's right
I'd [D] love to hear [A] the banjo ring for [D] me tonight
I will [G] honor my father with [D] these words I write down
[G] As long as I remember him, [D] he'll always be [A] around
Man the [D] pain of losing him [G] cuts like a randall knife
I learned a [D] few chords on [A] the banjo, it's the [D] key to life
Yeah the pain of losing him [G] cuts like a randall knife
I [F#m] learned a few chords on the [A] banjo, [D] it's the key to life
