[C]
[F] [G]
[Em] [C]
A curly-headed kid with [F] a sunshiny smile [G] Heard the roar of a plane as it sailed through [C] the sky
To her playmate she [F] cried with a bright twinklin' eye
[G] My daddy rides that ship in the [C] sky
My daddy rides that [F] ship in the sky
[C] My daddy rides [G] that ship in the sky
[C] Mama's not afraid [F] so neither am [G] I
My daddy rides that ship in [C] the sky
[G] [C]
A pug-nosed kid [F] as he kicked up his heel
[G] That my daddy works in the iron [C] and the steel
My daddy makes planes so [F] they fly through the sky
[G] That's what keeps your daddy up there [C] so high
That's what keeps your [F] daddy up there so high
[C] That's what keeps your [G] daddy up there so high
[C] You ain't afraid, [F] well neither am I
[G] Cause my daddy keeps your daddy up there [C] so high
[G] Then
[C] a shy little girl [F] pinched her toe in the sand
[G] Said my daddy works in the place where [C] they land
So you tell your [F] mama don't be afraid
[G] Cause my dad will bring your daddy back [C] home again
My dad will bring your [F] daddy back home again
[C] My dad will bring your [G] daddy back home again
[C] Don't be afraid [F] if it gets dark and [G] rains
My dad will bring your daddy back [C] home again
My dad will bring your daddy [F] back home again.
[C] My dad will bring your [G] daddy back home again.
[C] Don't be afraid [F] if it gets dark and rains.
[G] My dad will bring your daddy back [C] home again.
