Daddy Laid The Blues On Me chords by Bobbie Cryner

Verse 1:

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

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

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

      B7                                         E
And a man's gotta get around, if you know what I mean."

        A                                    D
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
And I was born one summer night

                           D
When the world loved Patsy Cline

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

On the Georgia-Alabama line

      A
Momma taught me how to play and sing

                    D
And we headed up to Tennessee

E
Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll

                            A
But Daddy laid the blues on me

Verse 2:

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

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

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

              B7                             E
I said: "Dad, I gotta get around if you know what I mean."

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

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

Chorus:

          A
And I was born one summer night

                           D
When the world loved Patsy Cline

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

On the Georgia-Alabama line

      A
Momma taught me how to play and sing

                    D
And we headed up to Tennessee

E
Momma sold my soul on country rock and roll

                            A
But Daddy laid the blues on mee
