Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore

Intro: (D) (A) (D)  

 
D             A       D  
Daddy doesn't pray anymore  
                       G            A  
Guess he's finished talkin' to the Lord  
    G                            A           D           G     
He used to fold his ha-nds and bow his head down to the floor  
D             A         D  
Daddy doesn't pray any-more  

    D            A                    D  
I re-member even when the ti-mes were bad  
                     G              A  
He'd thank Jesus for everything he had  
   G                  A              D              G  
A good wife and three chil-dren, the food upon our plates  
          D            A               D  
yeah, everything was right when he said grace  

(Chorus)  

 D                         A        D  
There was a time when we didn't ge-t along  
                         G              A  
'Cause I thought I was right, and he was wrong  
             G            A                      D              G  
Still-when I'd lay down at-night, I'd hear him get-down on his knees  
D                   A      D  
And say a little prayer fo-r me  

(Chorus)  

D                     A             D  
To-day, I followed Daddy down to church  
                  G                  A  
Listened to the preacher read God's words   
        G                 A                 D            G  
And-we sang his favorite hymn, but Daddy didn't make a sound  
           D               A              D  
And-this-afternoon we'll lay him in the ground  

(Chorus)
