Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind Capo 2
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
We were poor when I was a youngin', I don't remember ever going hungry
G D
Daddy made sure we didn't do without I went to school with some of these fellas
G D
They had money and I was jealous, I didn't know then what I know now
A
Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover
G A
It's what's inside that really matters
[Chorus]
G D
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
Bm G A
He said some things just glitter and shine
G D A Bm
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
G A D
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
[Verse 2]
D
I left home right out of high school, got me a big car thought I was real cool
G D
Cruisin' around the old neighborhood, I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday
D
I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
G D
He just said no, I never understood
A
He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit
G A
Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it
[Chorus]
G D
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
Bm G A
He said some things just glitter and shine
G D A Bm
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
G A D
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
[Bridge]
Bm
It took a while but now I'm grown
G
I've settled down with kids of my own
Em A
The more I give them, the more they want
[Verse 3]
D
Daddy left us last November
D
I don't remember him ever looking better
G D
All laid out in his Sunday best
D
I'm sure instead of all that attention
D
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
G D
A simple man simply laid to rest
A
As they drove him away in that big Cadillac
G A
With a tear in my eye I had to laugh
[Chorus]
G D
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
Bm G A
He said some things just glitter and shine
G D A Bm
Just this once, I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride
G A D
Cause, Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
[Tag]
Em G D
No my Daddy never was, the Cadillac kind
