Chords with lyrics

To Daddy-Emmylou Harris (written by Dolly Parton)
CAPO 2

G+G
Mama never seemed

To miss the finer things of life
           G7G7       D MajorD
If she did she never did say so to daddy

She never wanted to be more

Than mother and a wife
           D7D7       G+G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G+G
The only thing that seemed

To be important in her life
            G7G7        C majorC
Was to make our house a home and make us happy

Mama never wanted
  G+G
Any more that what she had
    D MajorD       D7D7        G+G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G+G
He often left her all alone

She didn't mind the staying home
           G7G7       D MajorD
If she did she never did say so to daddy

And she never missed the flowers

And the cards he never sent her
           D7D7       G+G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G+G
Being took for granted

Was a thing that she accepted
              G7G7         C majorC
And she didn't need those things to make her happy

And she didn't seem to notice
   G+G
That he didn't kiss and hold her
    D MajorD       D7D7       G+G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
  C majorC
One morning we awoke

Just to find a note
                   D MajorD
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
  C majorC
And as we began to read it

Our ears could not believe it
                    D MajorD
The words that she had written there to daddy
  G+G
She said the kids are older now

They don't need me very much
              G7G7       C majorC
And I've gone in search of love I need so badly

I have needed you so long
  G+G
But I just can't keep holding on

She never meant to come back home
D MajorD         D7D7       C majorC
She did she never did say so to daddy
      G+G
