Daddy What If
Recorded by Bobby Bare with Bobby Bare Jr.
Written by Shel Silverstein
G+G A minorAm
Daddy what if the sun stop shining
D7D7 G+G G7G7
What would happen then
C majorC G+G
If the sun stopped shining you'd be so surprised
C majorC G+G
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
C majorC G+G E minorEm
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
A minorAm D7D7 G+G
And the sun would start shining again
A minorAm
Daddy what if the wind stopped blowing
D7D7 G+G G7G7
What would happen then
C majorC G+G
If the wind stopped blowing then the land would be dry
C majorC G+G
And your boat wouldn't sail son and your kite couldn't fly
C majorC G+G E minorEm
And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind
A minorAm D7D7 G+G
And the wind would start blowing again
A minorAm
But daddy what if the grass stopped growing
D7D7 G+G G7G7
What would happen then
C majorC G+G
If the grass stopped growing why you'd probably cry
C majorC G+G
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
C majorC G+G E minorEm
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
A minorAm D7D7 G+G
Yes the grass would start growing again
A minorAm
But daddy what if I stopped loving you
D7D7 G+G
What would happen then
C majorC G+G
If you'd stop loving me then the grass would stop growing
C majorC G+G
The sun would stop shining and the wind would stop blowing
C majorC G+G E minorEm
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a going
A minorAm D7D7 G+G E minorEm
You better start loving me again again
A minorAm D7D7 G+G
You better start loving me again
You hear me Bobby
A minorAm D7D7 G+G
You better start loving me again
You love me Bobby
A minorAm D7D7 G+G
You better start loving me again
