Johnny Cash – Daddy (Guitar)

 A                                        E
His deeds were never published for the public

                                        A
The things he did were never done for show

                                    E
His name was never printed in the paper

 B7                   E
Until about two days ago

A                                    E
He only filed a short form for his taxes

                                        A
No one asked him how he felt about the war

                                      E
He always had a good word for his neighbor

     B7                              E
Now his good words won't be heard anymore

       D                                  A    
And through the rain I heard the choir singing Nearer my God to Thee

  D                                     A
Through the mist I saw some children crying 

        E                     A
And I felt nearer my God to Thee

A                             E
His table was never full of plenty

                                     A
His silverware was never the real thing

                                    E
But the tears on the faces of his family

      B7                            E
Were just as real as if he were a king

 A                                         E
The preacher said he'd always been a good man

                                           A
But preachers love to throw that phrase around

                                            E
But the tears I tasted gave his words new meaning

          B7                                 E
Watching old friends puttin' daddy in the ground

       D                                  A
And through the rain I heard the choir singing Nearer my God to Thee

 D                                      A
Through the mist I saw some children crying 

        E                     A
And I felt nearer my God to Thee
