Chords for ~That's My Job by Glen Templeton~

_ _ _ About my Conway Twitty story, he kind of gave me a little spill up here.
_ But I [Ab] was chosen by the Conway Twitty family out of about 20 [N],000 people to play the role of Conway in a [B] touring musical.
What an honor it was that you can have that.
[N] _ _ What an honor it was to be able _ to _ play the part of Conway.
I mean, [G] what a man [B] who was just loved by so many people.
[G] _ _ [B] I was just so honored by it.
[C] _ _ [B] About six years ago I lost [G] my dad.
_ _ This [Gm] next song right here is a pay tribute to Conway.
And _ _ [N] my father, who was also a big huge inspiration in my life.
Here's a [F] Conway Twitty song y'all, I'm gonna send it to my [Bb] pop.
_ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ I woke up [Em] crying late at night.
[C] _ [D] I was very [G] young.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ I had dreamed my [G] father _ _ _ _ [Am]
had passed away [D] and gone. _ _ _
_ [Gm] My world _ [Em] revolved around him.
I [C] couldn't lie [D] there anymore.
_ _ [G] So [C] I made my way [G] down the mirrored hall.
[Am] And tapped _
[D] upon his door.
_ And I [B] [C] said, Daddy, _ [G] I'm so afraid.
[C]
[Am] How will I go on [G] with you gone that [Am] way?
[Em] Don't [C] want to cry anymore.
[G] So may I stay with [Am] you? _ _ _
[G] _ _ And [Dm] he [Cm] said, [D] That's my [G] job.
_ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] That's what [G] I'll do.
_ [Am] _
[B] _ [C] Everything [D] I do is [Bm] because [C] of you.
To keep [D] you safe [Em] with me.
_ And [C] that's my [D]
job, you see. _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Later we barely [Em] got along.
_ [C] This teenage [D] boy and me.
_ _ [C] Most of the fights it seemed were [G] over different dreams.
[Am] That we each held for [D] me. _ _ _
_ He wanted knowledge [Em] and learning.
_ [C] I wanted [G] to fly out west.
_ Said [C] I could make it out [Dm] there.
[G] If I just had the fare.
I've [Am] got half.
[G] Will you [Dm] loan me the rest?
And [B] I [C] said, Daddy, _ [G] I'm so afraid.
[Am] There's no guarantee in the [G] plans I've [Am] made.
[B] [C] And if I should fail, who [Bm] will pay my [Am] way back home?
_ _ _ [G] _
And he [Cm] said, That's [G]
my job.
_ _ _ [C] _ [G] That's what I'll do.
_ [Am] _ [Bm] _ _ [C]
Everything [D] I do is [G] because of you.
[C]
To keep [D] you safe with [Em] me. _ _
_ [C] That's [D] my job, [G] you see. _
_ _ _ [Em] _ Every [Bm] person carves his spot.
[C] And [G] fills the [D]
hole with [G] light.
_ _ [C] And I pray someday I [E] might.
_ [Am] Shine as bright [C] _ [D] as he. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Woke _ up thirty [Em]-one bright fall day.
[C] _ _ [D] Scripted tragic news.
_ And [C] after all my travel.
[G] _ I settled down.
_ [Am]
Within a mile [D] or two. _ _ _
[G] I make my [Em] living with words and rhymes.
[C] _ And all [D] this tragedy. _
_ [G] Should [C] go into my head.
[G] And I would stand.
[Am] _ As this [D]
old [G] tree.
[Bm] But I [C] say, Daddy, _ [G] I'm so afraid.
[Am] How will I go on with [G] you gone [Am] that [B] way?
Don't want [C] to cry anymore.
[B] The words to say I [Am] _ love you.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] That's my _ [G] job. _ _
[C] That's _ [D] what [G] I'll do. _
[Am] _ [Bm] _ [C] Everything [D] I do is [G] because [C] of you.
To keep [D] you safe [Em] with me.
_ _ _ [C] That's my [G]
[D] job, [G] you see.
_ [Dm] _ [Bm] _ [C] Everything [D] I do is [G] because [C] of you.
To keep you [D] safe [Em] with me. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ That one [G] goes out to all the daddies, the daddies to be and all your mamas out there.
