Verse 1

	Em
	Everyday 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
	Everynight he sat there sleeping

	Am
	In his rocking chair

	B7
He	never went upstairs

	Em
All be	cause 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."
