[F]
[C] [C]
I ran into an old friend of mine the other day.
[G] We hadn't seen each other for quite a [C] while.
What he had to say to me hit me pretty hard, [D] because I think a lot [G] of folks get started this way.
He said,
I thought it would be so easy,
[G] another one [C]-night stand.
She seemed so warm and willing,
[D] right [G] in the palm of [C] my hand.
Now it's three months ago last Wednesday [D] since [G] I woke up in [C] her bed.
Lord, I think I love her, [Bm] but it [G] scares me [C] half to death.
Cause [F] you know I'm a raking [C] and a rambling man.
[F] We have an eagle [C] fly.
[F] Well look at me now [C] and tell [F] me true, do [C] I look like a daddy to you?
Oh, do I look [F] like a daddy [C] to you?
[F]
Now she's feeling sick in the mornings.
[D] She [G] can't get into [C] her jeans.
I spent my last ten dollars, [G] bought her a second [C] hand ring.
I start to work next Monday, [G] cause I just can't let [C] her down.
I've had me some good times, [G] but it's all [C] changing now.
[F] You know I'm a raking [C] and a rambling man.
[F] We have an eagle [C] fly.
[F] Well look at me now and [C] tell [F] me true, do [C] I look like a daddy to you?
Oh, do I look like [F] a daddy [C] to you?
[F] You know I'm a raking [C] and a rambling man.
[F] We have an eagle [C] fly.
[F] Well look at me now [C] and tell [F] me true,
do [C] I look like a daddy to you?
