To Daddy-Emmylou Harris (written by Dolly Parton)
CAPO 2
G
Mama never seemed
To miss the finer things of life
                     G7              D
If she did she never did say so to daddy
She never wanted to be more
Than mother and a wife
                     D7              G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G
The only thing that seemed
To be important in her life
                        G7               C
Was to make our house a home and make us happy
Mama never wanted
    G
Any more that what she had
       D             D7               G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G
He often left her all alone
She didn't mind the staying home
                     G7              D
If she did she never did say so to daddy
And she never missed the flowers
And the cards he never sent her
                      D7             G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
G
Being took for granted
Was a thing that she accepted
                           G7                  C
And she didn't need those things to make her happy
And she didn't seem to notice
     G
That he didn't kiss and hold her
       D              D7             G
If she did she never did say so to daddy
    C
One morning we awoke
Just to find a note
                                      D
That mama carefully wrote and left to daddy
    C
And as we began to read it
Our ears could not believe it
                                        D
The words that she had written there to daddy
    G
She said the kids are older now
They don't need me very much
                            G7             C
And I've gone in search for love I need so badly
I have needed you so long
    G
But I just can't keep holding on
She never meant to come back home
       D             D7              C
If she did she never did say so to daddy
           G
Goodbye to daddy
