Chords with lyrics
[Verse]
G+G
My daddy would not go to work on mornings
G+G D MajorD
He’d been out with Jack Daniel’s all night long
G+G
Though daddy never cared too much for dancing
G+G D MajorD G+G
He loved to hear a good ol’ country song.
[Verse]
C majorC G+G
And son, he said, I never had much money
G+G D MajorD
And I never had the time for fancy clothes
G+G C majorC
And I’ve always been a fool for Jim Beam whiskey
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I guess I’ve always loved Wild Irish Rose.

Yes daddy was a gambler
G+G
My daddy loved the racetrack
G+G D MajorD
What he saw in that God only knows
C majorC
He loved his wife and children
G+G
But he also loved the horses
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.
[Verse]
G+G
My daddy always cried the morning after
G+G D MajorD
Mom 'n him had argued for so long
G+G
He said, when I do right no one remembers
G+G D MajorD G+G
And for sure no one forgets when I do wrong.

But momma she accused my dad of cheating
