Eddy Arnold - My daddy is only a picture

^CI asked a little^G7 boy to call his^C daddy He ^G7said he couldn't and ^Csighed

And ^E7when I asked him ^Amwhat was wrong ^D7Here's what the little boy r^G7eplied ^C

My ^G7Daddy is only a ^Cpicture in a ^G7frame that hangs on the ^Cwall^C7 Each ^Fday I talk to my ^Cdaddy but ^D7he never talks at ^G7all

I ^G7tell him all of my ^Csecrets and ^G7all of my little ^Cplans^C7 And ^Ffrom the way he ^Csmiles at me I ^D7know he ^G7unders^Ctands

The ^G7angels took Daddy to ^Cheaven when ^G7I was just going on ^Cthre^C7e But ^FI'll bet they never ^Ctold him how ^D7blue and lonesome we'd ^G7be

I try to cheer up my ^Cmommy when the ^G7tears roll down her ^Cface^C7 My ^Fdaddy is only a ^Cpicture but I'm ^D7trying to ^G7take his ^Cplace
