[Intro]
Am C D (Repeat 4 times)
(The pattern for most of the song is composed of 4 bars of 4/4:)
(| Am | Am C D | Am | C D |) (| 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 |)
[Verse]
Am Floating in the lower nine C D Waiting for a boat to throw me a line Am See my Stella smile C D Sitting on a roof eating alligator pie Am First day the water rise C D Second day the sun is high Am Third day Stella cries C D Cause night time's dark as a dead man's eyes
[Chorus]
Am C D Am C D Yeah... Oh, Lord... Say yeah, tell me when help is gonna come Am C D Am C D Oh... yeah, yeah... Yes, Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?"
(repeat pattern 2 times)
[Verse]
Am Storm went right on by C D Thanked the Lord everybody's alright Am Don't mean to throw off a second line C D But the devil broke the levee and left us here to die
[Chorus]
Am C D Yeah... oh Lord... Am C D Yeah... Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" Am C D Am C D Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" Am C D Am C D Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" Am C D Am C D (Much slower, same pattern) Am C D Need a dance hall to get y'all down, need a dance hall to get y'all down Am C D Need a dance hall to get y'all down, oh, oh, oh... Am C D Am C D Say yeah...
(gradually accelerating)
[Bridge]
E D All the things we know and F#m Everything we hope for E All the things we wanted E Everything that was sure D Now there is a scar where F#m The old men used to be E The corner store and market D Where Stella used to sing to me E Grace is all I'm asking D When will grace return? E Grace is all I'm asking
[Verse]
Am C D Remember how it feels, lazy days in the summertime Am Then my Stella smiled C D Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" Am C D Am C D Yeah... Yeah yeah.... Oh... Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" Am C D Am C D Yeah.... Stella said, "Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?" Am C D Am C D "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?" Am C D Am C D Tell me, Lord, when help is gonna come Am C D Am C D "Daddy, when you gonna put me in a song?"
