David Allan Coe – Single Father (Guitar)

E
Latley I?ve been spendin? lots of time with my kid

A
Tellin? him stories, about the things that we did

     E                                  B7
When we were a family, such a long time ago

     E
I?ve answered his questions, till I?m blue in the face

        A
There?s so many things, time can?t erase

          E                  B7
So I just tell him the truth

                         E 
Cause he not to young to know.

A
Such is the life, of a Single Father

   E                       
He says tell me dad, if it?s not too much bother

         B7                                   E
Why it?s just you and me, living here in this home

         A
I said I know there just two, when there ought to be three of us

E
Sharing this moments

                     B7
You know son I guess sometimes at night

           E
I feel so alone.

       A
Single Father

              E
And part time mother

             B7
When I?m not one

             E
Then I?m the other

              A
And I used to have

            E
A full time lover

                 B7
Now I?m a Single Father

                E
And a part time mother.

E
Lately I?ve been spendin? lots of time with my boy

        A                     
There?s no doubt about it, he?s my pride and joy

        E                                            B7 
But someday he will grow up, and I won?t have him no more

          E
There was so many I found hard to explain

          A
So I just took him to McDonald?s, or bought him a little train

          E              B7                   E
And we go put it together, on the living room floor.
