[Intro]

Em   Em Am B7 Em

[Verse 1]

Em

Every day my Papa would work

   Am

To help to make ends meet

   B7

To see that we would eat

           Em

Keep those shoes upon my feet

Em

Every night my Papa would take me

    Am

And tuck me in my bed

B7

Kiss me on my head

      Em

After all my prayers were said

Em

Growing up with him was easy

Am

Time just flew on by

    B7

The years began to fly

   Em

He aged and so did I

[Chorus]

C       B7                         Em

I could tell, that Mama wasn't well

C             Am               Em

Papa knew and deep down so did she, so did she...

C        B7                        Em

When she died, Papa broke down and cried

C                Am                 Em

All he said was, "God, why not take me?"

[Verse 2]

Em

Every night he sat there sleeping 

Am

In his rocking chair

   B7

He never went upstairs

      Em

All because she wasn't there

Em

Then one day my Papa said, "Son,

    Am

I'm proud the way you've grown...

B7

Make it on your own...

         Em

Oh, I'll be ok alone.
