My Daddy and Me


Capo 2nd fret E A E A E My daddy and me, we ran to the rainbow. A My daddy and me, we flew where the clouds blow. A7 D D/C# Bm Down by the shore, we ran till we couldn't run anymore; E A E7 Down by the sea, my daddy and me.

My daddy and me went down to the rodeo.
I knew I could win - my daddy told me so.
I rode like the wind - I brought that ribbon home to him,
Oh, what a jamboree for daddy and me!


D A Daddy got mad sometimes, but you know, that's how daddies are. D A He threw his hat at the fencepost, but it never went that far, D A A/G# F#m Bm And I got scared and teary-eyed, but all that I could see E7 Was daddy and me.

My daddy and me went down to the railroad.
We sat on the hill just about where the train slowed.
The engineer was my friend - blew his whistle, stood my hair on end.
If you'd been there you could see like daddy and me.

My daddy went home where I couldn't follow.
He left in the night and flew like a swallow.
And now that I'm grown, I still don't feel like I'm alone.
We're limbs on the same old tree, my daddy and me.

Daddy got mad sometimes, but you know, that's how daddies are.
He threw his hat at the fencepost, but it never went that far,
And I got scared and teary-eyed, but all that I could see
Was daddy and me.

My daddy and me, we ran to the rainbow.
My daddy and me, we flew where the clouds blow.
Down by the shore, we ran till we couldn't run anymore;
Down by the sea, my daddy and me.
Down by the sea, my daddy and me
.
