Capo 1st
[Intro] 2x G,  D(slide B&E string up to 5th fret),   Cadd9  
[Verse 1]
I rGemember looking up 
To look up to Cadd9him 
GAnd I remember most the time 
He wasn't Cadd9there 
I'd be Em7waiting at the Ddoor 
When he got home at Cadd9night 
He'd pAmass me by to go to pEm7ass out in his cDhair
[Chorus]
And I'd say 
GWalk a little straEm7ighter daddy 
Cadd9You're swaying side to Dside 
GYou're footsteps make me dEm7izzy 
Cadd9And no matter how I tDry 
I keep triAmpping and stEm7umbling 
Cadd9If you'd look down here you'd see 
Walk a little stAmraighter daEm7ddy D  
You're leading me
[Intro] G,  D(slide B&E string up to 5th fret),   Cadd9  
[Verse 2]
He stumbled in the gym 
On graduation day 
And I couldn't help but feel 
So ashamed 
And I wasn't surprised a bit 
When he didn't stay 
He stumbled out before they called my name
[Chorus]
And I thought 
Walk a little straighter daddy 
You're swaying side to side 
It's not just me who's watching 
you've caught everybody's eye 
And you're tripping and stumbling 
and even though I've turned 18 
Walk a little straighter daddy 
You're still leading me
G
[Bridge]
FThe old mans still like he always was 
But I Em7love him anyway 
If I've lAmearned one thing from him 
Its my kids will Cnever have to Dsay
Walk a little straighter daddy 
You're swaying side to side 
You're footsteps make me dizzy 
And no matter how I try 
I keep tripping and stumbling 
if you'd look down here you'd see 
Walk a little straighter daddy 
You're leading me
Yeah walk a little straighter daddy 
You're leading me
