The[D] coat she wore still lies upon the[G] bed,

[Chorus] [C]Daddy never[G] knew just[D] what she saw in me [C]Daddy didn't[G] like my[D] hair [C]Perhaps if we had[G] talked he'd have seen [D]something in me But[G] daddy didn't[G] really[D] care. To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve I know I only got what I deserved So now she's taken leave of me today Her haddy didn't like me anyway |
