Intro
Em Em Am B7 Em
Verse 1
EmEveryday my Papa would work
To Amhelp to make ends meet
To B7see that we would eat
Keep those Emshoes upon my feet
EmEvery night my Papa would take me
And Amtuck me in my bed
B7Kiss me on my head
After Emall my prayers were said
EmGrowing up with him was easy
AmTime just flew on by
The B7years began to fly
He Emaged and so did I
Chorus
CI could B7tell, that Mama wasn't wellEm
CPapa knew and Amdeep down so did Emshe, so did she...
CWhen she B7died, Papa broke down and Emcried
CAll he said was, Am"God, why not Emtake me'"
Verse 2
EmEverynight he sat there sleeping
AmIn his rocking chair
He B7never went upstairs
All beEmcause she wasn't there
EmThen one day my Papa said, "Son,
I'm Amproud the way you've grown...
B7Make it on your own...
Oh, I'll Embe ok alone."
