Chords for Paul Anka- Papa (acoustic cover)

[Abm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
Every day my papa [Dbm] worked to make ends meet.
[Eb] To see that we would eat.
[Abm] Keep those shoes upon my feet.
Every night my papa would [Dbm] take it.
Be in my bed.
[Eb] Kiss me on my head.
[Ab] After [Abm] all my prayers were said.
Growing up with him was [Dbm] easy.
Just for one bite.
[Eb] With me ears they can't supply.
[Abm] She danced so did I.
[E] I [Gb] could tell.
[Eb] Mama [Abm] wasn't well.
[E] Papa [Gb] knew.
And deep down [B] so did she.
[Eb] So did she.
[E] _ [Gb] When she died.
[Eb] Papa broke [Abm] down in cry. _
[E] All he [Dbm] said was God.
[Eb] Why not take me. _ _
[Abm] Every night he sat there [Dbm] sleeping.
In his rocking chair.
[Eb] He never went upstairs.
[Abm] All because she wasn't there.
Then one day my papa said.
[Dbm] Girl I'm proud the way you've grown.
[Eb] Make it on your own.
[Abm] Oh I'll be okay alone.
I _ _ kiss my [Dbm] children.
Papa's words ring true.
[Eb] Your children live through you.
[Abm] They'll grow and leave you too.
I remember.
[Dbm] My papa used to say.
[Eb] I live that everyday.
[Abm] He taught me well that way.
Every night my papa would [Dbm] take it.
Tuck me in my bed.
[Eb] Kiss me on my head.
[Abm] After all my prayers were said.
Every night my papa would [Db] take it.
Tuck me [Dbm] in my bed.
[Eb] Tuck me in my bed.
[Ab] After all my [Abm] prayers were said.
