_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Every day my papa worked to help to make [Am] ends meet
_ [B] To see that we would meet, keep [Em] those shoes upon my feet
[B] _ _ [Em] _ Every night my papa would take [Am] me from me and my bed
_ _ [B] Kiss me on my head, _ after [Em] all the prayers were said
_ _ _ Growing up with him was easy, [C] time just flew on by
The [B] years began to fly, _ [Em] he aged and so did I
_ _ [C] _ I could [D]
tell _ that [B] mama _ [Em] wasn't well
_ _ [C] Mama knew, [D] and deep down so [G] did she, so [B] did she
_ _ [C] When she [D]
died, _ _ [B] papa broke [Em] down and cried
_ _ [C] All he said was, [Am]
God, why not [B] take me? _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ Every night he sat there sleeping [Am] in his rocking chair
He [B] never went upstairs, oh, [Em] because she wasn't there
_ _ _ Then one day my papa said, son, [Am] I'm proud of the way you've grown
_ [B] Make it on your _ own, [Em] you'll all be okay alone
_ Every _ time I kiss my children, [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] your children live through you
What _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] [Am] he used to say, _ [B] I live out every day
_ [Em] He taught me well that _ _ _ _ _ every night my papa would take [Am] me
He tucked me in my _ _ _ [B] bed, kissed me on my head
_ _ _ [Em] _ Well, so sad, _ _ _ _ every night my papa would take me
[Am] He tucked me in my bed, _ _ [B] tucked [E] me in [B] my bed
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
