Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I heard about, I heard about your daddy got sick

Drove down to the river to die alone

Seven days, seven days till they found him all

Wrapped up in a blanket on the boat

 So we put him in the ground, down, down, down

 Your Momma said stay strong, don't cry.

 So that is what you did.

(Guitar solo)

Years later, years down, later down the road

on the bus with your FM radio.

Half drunk, a cigarette hangin out,

what happened to your lonely soul.

Crying out,

what happened to your lonely soul.

Screamin out.

 You said try and lose, you said try and lose.

Everything you've known, everything you've seen.

 Everything you've loved, everthing you've been.

 And everywhere you walk, yes every song you sing.

 Every time you wake, it haunts you once again.

 My daddy ain't comin home, no no.

 Daddy ain't comin home, no no.

 My daddy ain't comin home, no no.

 Daddy ain't comin home, no no.

 Your daddy ain't comin home.
