_ _ _ Every day my papa would work [Bbm] to help to make ends meet
_ [C] To see that we would meet, keep [Fm] those shoes upon my feet
_ _ _ Every night my papa would take [Bbm] and put me in my bed
_ _ _ [Cm] Kiss me on my head _ [Fm] after all my prayers were said
_ _ _ Growing up with him was easy, [Bbm] _ just flew on by
_ [C] The years began to fly, _ [Fm] he aged and so did I
_ _ [Db] _ _ I [Eb] could tell _ that [C] mama _ [Fm] wasn't well, _ [Db] papa knew
[Eb] And deep down so [Ab] did she, _ so did [C] she
_ _ [Db] _ _ When she [Eb]
died, _ _ [C] papa broke [Fm] down and cried
_ [Db] All he said [Bbm] was, God, why not [C] take me? _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ Every night he sat there sleeping [Bbm] in his walking chair
_ [C] He never went _ upstairs, oh [Fm] because she wasn't there
_ _ _ Then one day papa said, son, [Bbm] I'm proud the way you've grown
_ _ [C] Make it on your own, [Fm] so I'll be okay alone
_ _ Every _ time I kiss my children, [Bbm] _ _ papa's words ring true
_ [C] Your children live through you, _ [Fm] they're growing deep, you too
_ _ _ _ _ I remember every word, [Bbm] _ what you used to say
_ _ [C] I remember every day, _ [Fm] he taught me well that way
_ _ _ _ Every night my papa would take and [Bbm] _ put me in my bed
_ _ _ [C] Kiss me on my head _ [Fm] after all my prayers were said
_ _ _ _ Every night my papa would take and put me in my bed
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
