81 bpm. Key of F. [Intro] C F [Verse 1]
  F                 F7
A little boy tugged gently

     Bb              F
At a soldier's khaki sleeve

   F 
He says forgive me mister

    G7                     C7
But you've been across I believe

  F              F7
I see the purple heart you wear

     Bb                     F
That tells what you've been through

   Bb               F     D7
Perhaps you know my daddy sir

      G7     C       F
Cause he's a soldier too
[Chorus]
F              Bb           F
Did you see my daddy mister soldier

                            C7
When you were fighting over there

  C7
I thought perhaps by chance

    F
You met him there in France

   G7
Or somewhere over there

           C7
Across the sea

     F                  Bb          F
It's been so long since daddy went away

   F                                  A7
My mommy longs for him both night and day

  Bb
I know 'twould make her glad

   F               D7
If you had seen my dad

Gm             C7         F
Did you see my daddy over there
[Instrumental] F Bb F F A7 Bb F D7 Gm C7 F [Verse 3]
    F                   F7
The soldier's eyes grew misty

      Bb                F
As he watched the boy's face

    F
For it recalled a memory

     G7            C7
That time can not erase

  F             F7
A buddy lost in action

         Bb          F
The best pal he ever had

     Bb               F        D7
Till death he carried o'er his heart

  G7      C       F
A picture of this lad
[Chorus]
F              Bb           F
Did you see my daddy mister soldier

                            C7
When you were fighting over there

  C7
I thought perhaps by chance

    F
You met him there in France

   G7
Or somewhere over there

           C7
Across the sea

     F                  Bb          F
It's been so long since daddy went away

   F                                  A7
My mommy longs for him both night and day

  Bb
I know 'twould make her glad

   F               D7
If you had seen my dad

Gm             C7    N.C. F
Did you see my daddy over there
