To Daddy-Emmylou Harris (written by Dolly Parton)

G
Mama never seemed

To miss the finer things of life

                     G7              D
If she did she never did say so to daddy

She never wanted to be more Than mother and a wife

                     D7              G
If she did she never did say so to daddy

G
The only thing that seemed

To be important in her life

                        G7               C
Was to make our house a home and make us happy

Mama never wanted

    G
Any more that what she had

       D             D7               G
If she did she never did say so to daddy

G
He often left her all alone

She didn't mind the staying home

                     G7              D
If she did she never did say so to daddy

And she never missed the flowers And the cards he never sent her

                      D7             G
If she did she never did say so to daddy

G
Being took for granted

Was a thing that she accepted

                           G7                  C
And she didn't need those things to make her happy

And she didn't seem to notice

     G        
That he didn't kiss and hold her

       D              D7             G
If she did she never did say so to daddy

    C
One morning we awoke

Just to find a note

                                      D
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy

    C
And as we began to read it

Our ears could not believe it

                                        D
The words that she had written there to daddy

    G
She said the kids are older now

They don't need me very much

                            G7             C
And I've gone in search for love I need so badly

I have needed you so long

    G
But I just can't keep holding on

She never meant to come back home

       D             D7              C
If she did she never did say so to daddy

           G
Goodbye to daddy
