Ab Db Ab Eb
On a cold and grey October day our family moved away
Ab Db Bbm Eb
From a thirty acre farm in Tennessee
Ab Db Ab
And the part for me in the schoolhouse play would have to wait
Eb Ab
On a rainbow that only daddy would ever see.
CHORUS:
Db Eb Ab
That was when my mama started praying
Db Ab Bbm Eb
Lord let him dream but make him realize
Db Eb Db Bbm
That dreams won't feed the children that we're raisin' today
Ab Eb Ab Db Ab Eb
Oh Lord take the rainbow from his eyes.
VERSE:
Ab Db Ab Eb
Well even after I grew older we kept waitin' for the home
Ab Db Bbm Eb
That daddy kept on building in his mind
Ab Db Ab
And on the day he passed away he took my mama's hand
Eb Ab
And said honey I can make it just give me time.
CHORUS::
Db Eb Ab
Jesus I pray that you'll forgive him
Db Ab Bbm Eb
For dreaming away my mama's smile
Db Eb Db Bbm
And Lord if there's a rainbow up in heaven today
Ab Eb Ab Bbm Db Ab
Please Lord let it shine in my daddy's eyes...
