I stood and watched [F] my [G] daddy die
[A] _
No one [G] could [F] help his [G] plight
[A]
He was [Cm] trying to [G] save our home
[A] _
On the day that [F] the [Em] river [A] rose
He came [F] alive, I heard [G] them say
There [Am] was nothing we [F] could [Em] do
He was he washed [Am] away _ _
[Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Am] _
Running from the [G] heart of it
[A] _ _ [Dm] Right into the [G] core of it
[A] _ [Am] _ Running [F] from the [G] heart [F] of [Em] it _
_ [A] _ _ I'm the man [Am] now, [F] but I'm [G] only seven
[Am] Well it's been hard since [F] daddy went [G] to [Am] heaven
He's staying now, [F] my mama [G] said
[Am] He worked [F] his land, [Em] his life, [A] his sin

[Am] We can wash our [Em] sorrow down
[A] _ Underneath [F] that [G] shining [A] realm
We'll be _ [F] sitting in the [G] still night air
[A] Can't you feel [Dm] how [G] daddy there
