I noticed that the chords to the only version sounded off when I played and a Google
search turned up a version that was missing chunks of the lyrics but contained the
correct-sounding chords.
Til I was a Daddy Too
By Tracy Lawrence
Standard Tuning - Capo 4
G C
Do you recall when I was six
G D
I got lost out in the woods and you worried yourself sick
G C
What about the day I got in my first fight
G D
Mama she got mad but you swelled up with pride
Em
I never knew how deep a father's love could run
D
Until I had a son
(Chorus)
G D/F#
From watching him learn how to crawl
Em D/F#
To skinned up knees from skateboard falls
C D
To praying he'd get through football alive
G D/F#
From hearing his first words spoken
Em D/F#
The first time his heart got broken
C D
And knowing soon he'll spread his wings and fly
Am7 D
I guess I didn't know what a daddy goes through
G
Till I was a Daddy too
G C
Real love the kind that you can't understand
G D
Until you hold it in your arms and touch it with your hands
G C
Pure joy the kind that you can only find
G
When you live your life for them
D
And leave yourself behind
Em C D
More and more I'm seeing life go by
Thru my Daddy's eyes
G D/F#
From watching him learn how to crawl
Em D/F#
To skinned up knees from skateboard falls
C D
To praying he'd get through football alive
G D/F#
From hearing his first words spoken
Em D/F#
The first time his heart got broken
C D
And knowing soon he'll spread his wings and fly
Am7 D
I guess I didn't know what a daddy goes through
G
Till I was a Daddy too
G D/F#
The fast pace of time goes racing
Em D/F#
From first grade to graduation
C F D
And knowing soon he'll spread his wings and fly
Am7 D
I guess I didn't know what a daddy goes through
G
Till I was a daddy too
Am7 D
I guess I didn't know what a daddy goes through
G
Till I was a daddy too
