Daddy Sang Bass

4 -4 -5 -5  -5 -5 -5 -5 -6   -6    -6   6   -5
I remember when I was a lad times were hard and 
  -5    -5   4
things were bad
 4   -4     4 -5 5   -5 -5  -6 -6   6 -5   6
But there`s a silver lining behind every cloud
-6   -6   -6 -5  -5     -5  -5 -5   -5    -5
Just poor people that`s all we were try`n to
-5  -5 -5 -5  -5  -5  -5    -5   -5
make a livin` out of black land dirt
 4   -4  -4-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5  -6 -5   6  6    -5
We`d get together in a fam`ly circle singin` loud

Verse 2.
Now I remember after work mama would call in all
of us You could hear us singin` for a country
mile.
Now little brother has done gone on but I`ll
rejoin him in a song
We`ll be together again up yonder in a little
while
