_ _ _ _ _ Every day my papa would work to help to make ends [Am] meet
_ _ [B] To see that we would eat, keep [Em] those shoes upon my feet
_ _ _ Every night my papa would take [Am] and help me in my bed
_ [B] To kiss me on my head after [Em] all the prayers were said
_ _ _ Growing up with him was easy, [C] I just flew on by
_ The [G#m] years began to fly, [B] _ [Em] he aged and so did I
_ _ [C] _ I could [D] tell _ [B] that mama was [Em] the well
_ _ [C] Papa knew [D] and deep down so [G] did she, so [B] did she
_ [C] When _ she [D] died, _ _ [B] papa broke down [Em] and cried
_ _ [C] All he said [Am] was, God, why not [B] take _ me?
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ Every night he sat there sleeping, [Am] _ his walking chair
He [B] never went upstairs, oh, [Em] because she wasn't there
_ Then one day my papa said, son, [Am] I'm proud the way you've grown

You _ _ _ _ _ remember _ every word [F#] _ _ [B]
you used [Am] to say
I _ [B] remember _ every _ _ _ [Em] time you were that way
_ _ _ Every night my papa would take [Am] and help me in my bed
_ _ [B] To kiss me on my head _ _ [Em] after all the prayers were said
_ _ _ Every night my papa would take [C] and help me in my [Am] _ _ _ [B] bed _ _
