Daddy played guitar in a bluegrass band
F#F# BbmBbm F#F#
He made his living on the D MajorD O T
DbDb F#F# DbDb
Faded star upon his wrist
F#F# DbDb BbmBbm F#F# AbAb
He come out of Huntsville back in ?86
DbDb F#F# AbAb
And he just waved bye?bye
DbDb F#F#
like he was some ordinary guy.
DbDb BbmBbm F#F# DbDb
Goddamn that man, but what he told me sticks
F#F# DbDb AbAb DbDb
We?ve gotta cross that river in a black dog wind.
DbDb F#F# DbDb
I lost myself in the jack-?knife daylight
F#F# DbDb BbmBbm F#F#
I sang ?Rock of Ages? ?til I was cross-?eyed
DbDb F#F# DbDb
The night seemed so endless, and I fought with the sunshine
F#F# DbDb BbmBbm F#F# AbAb
Mama begged me to wait for the right time
DbDb F#F# AbAb
Oh, I just waved bye?bye
DbDb F#F#
I was waiting to fly

We?ve gotta cross that river in a black dog wind

Rose of roses
F#F# DbDb AbAb
Take my troubled mind
F#F# DbDb
To the water
DbDb F#F# DbDb
I grew stronger and I grew older
F#F# DbDb BbmBbm F#F#
Only myself, and I had no other
DbDb F#F# DbDb
The sun rose in my blood early one morning
F#F# DbDb BbmBbm F#F# AbAb
And love was so simple, like a new day dawning
DbDb F#F# AbAb
I waved bye-?bye
DbDb F#F#
to that city of mine
DbDb BbmBbm F#F# DbDb
I loved that man, but I?m not like him
