[Intro]
| G C | G | G C | G

[Verse 1]
G C G C G
I never knew my mother and the closest that I came
C G C G
Was a picture that my daddy showed to me
D
When he held it in two calloused hands
G C
And told me son don't cry
G D G C G
This is how the Lord intended things to be

[Verse 2]
G G7
Daddy told me mom grew weaker on the night that I was born
C G C G
How she suffered and the doctor didn't come
D
And when daddy told his Maker
G C
Lord if it be Thy will please take her
G D G C G
How the good Lord took his wife and gave a son

[Verse 3]
G G7
As a kid I watched my daddy carve a living from the land
C G
Then when nighttime came he held me on his knee
D G C
And prayed the Lord would let him live till I became a man
G D C G
My daddy loved this land the Lord and me

[Chorus]
G
Now I've been through a war where many died
C G
And never got a scratch
G
And enough of dad rubbed off on me
A7 D
To know how I came back
G
I'm living proof the man upstairs
C G
Still lives and cares and answers

[Outro]
C G C G
The prayers of the man who loved this land
D C G
The Lord and me
