Текст песни Dale Ann Bradley — Daddy Did His Best + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
[Intro]
Db Eb Ab
[Verse 1]
Ab Eb Db Ab
I remember when my daddy worked all day for just a dollar
Db Ab Eb
And he never saved a penny, but at least the bills were paid
Ab Eb Db
And I've never seen a man work half as hard
Ab
And come home half as tired
Db Eb Ab
Then give the Lord a tenth of all he made
[Chorus]
Eb Ab
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
Db Ab Eb
And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
Ab Eb Db Ab
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
Db Eb Ab
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
[Verse 2]
Ab Eb Db Ab
I've never seen a man that had more reason for complaining
Db Ab Eb
But he'd smiled at me explaining how he never walked alone
Ab Eb
When they called me to his deathbed
Db Ab Db
I remember how my daddy just looked up
Eb Ab
And smiled and said I'm going home
[Chorus]
Eb Ab
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
Db Ab Eb
And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
Ab Eb Db Ab
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
Db Eb Ab
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
[Instrumental]

Db Eb Ab
[Verse 3]
Ab Eb Db Ab
Since my daddy left this world for one much better I've been watching
Db Ab Eb
People worrying more, working for the things they can't afford
Ab Eb
In this world that's filled with problems
Db Ab
No one's ever found the answers
Db Eb Ab
To the things my daddy left up to the Lord
[Chorus]
Eb Ab
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
Db Ab Eb
And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
Ab Eb Db Ab
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
Db Eb Ab
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
[Outro]
Db Eb Ab Eb Db Ab
My daddy did his best, then left the rest up to the Lord
Db Eb Ab
