Daddy Laid The Blues On Me chords by Bobbie Cryner

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

  A augmentedA                         E MajorE
Way back in their younger days, when they were running wild

  E MajorE                 A augmentedA
My daddy had a dream, and Momma had a child

     A augmentedA                     D MajorD
He said: "Girl you can't be tying me down, I'm only seventeen

   B7B7                     E MajorE
And a man's gotta get around, if you know what I mean."

    A augmentedA                  D MajorD
Then my Momma said, "Go on, as she stood and cried

And my Daddy said, "I'm gone. I gotta live my life."

Chorus:

     A augmentedA
And I was born one summer night

              D MajorD
When the world loved Patsy Cline

   E MajorE
I was raised by the tracks, in a tar-paper shack

On the Georgia-Alabama line

   A augmentedA
Momma taught me how to play and sing

          D MajorD
And we headed up to Tennessee

E MajorE
Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll

              A augmentedA
But Daddy laid the blues on me

Verse 2:

    A augmentedA                            E MajorE
Well I signed that dotted line, and I climbed my way to being a star

    E MajorE                       A augmentedA
When I ran across my Daddy in a downtown Tallahassee bar

     A augmentedA                           D MajorD
He said, "Girl there ain't no life on the road, you better come with me."

       B7B7               E MajorE
I said: "Dad, I gotta get around if you know what I mean."

    A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Daddy said: "Come on", with a tear in his eye

     E MajorE                    A augmentedA
I said, "Sorry Daddy, I'm gone!, I gotta live my life"

Chorus:

     A augmentedA
And I was born one summer night
