Capo 1st
[Intro] 2x G, D (slide B&E string up to 5th fret),Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G
I remember looking up
Cadd9
To look up to him
G
And I remember most the time
Cadd9
He wasn't there
Em7 D
I'd be waiting at the door
Cadd9
When he got home at night
Am Em7 D
He'd pass me by to go to pass out in his chair
[Chorus]
And I'd say
G Em7
Walk a little straighter daddy
Cadd9 D
You're swaying side to side
G Em7
You're footsteps make me dizzy
Cadd9 D
And no matter how I try
Am Em7
I keep tripping and stumbling
Cadd9
If you'd look down here you'd see
Am Em7 D
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me
[Intro] G, D (slide B&E string up to 5th fret),Cadd9
[Verse 2]
He stumbled in the gym
On graduation day
And I couldn't help but feel
So ashamed
And I wasn't surprised a bit
When he didn't stay
He stumbled out before they called my name
[Chorus]
And I thought
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
It's not just me who's watching
you've caught everybody's eye
And you're tripping and stumbling
and even though I've turned 18
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're still leading me
G
[Bridge]
F
The old mans still like he always was
Em7
But I love him anyway
Am
If I've learned one thing from him
C D
Its my kids will never have to say
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling
if you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me
Yeah walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me
