guitar chords lyrics
this song is fnger picked. nothin too fancy but still has a real good sound.
i play the riff like this. the song sounds like it just starts without the slide but i
like the sound of it.
(didnt put the other strings cause there is nothin played on them)
VERSE:
D G
i'd love to hear my daddy playin once again
D A
all the songs he taught me when i was a kid
D G
john henry, ol chelly, and faded love
D A D
id fall to pieces and on the wings of a dove
D G
just a few chords on the bonjo, that was all he knew
D A
in the eyes of a child, man his fingers flew
D G
i practiced and i practiced till i got it right
D A D
i packed up everything and just took off one night
INTRO RIFF
D G
i made it from the beer joints to the opera stage
D A
he said the only difference is when youre gettin payed
D G
he didnt care when everybody knew my name
D A D
he said its all for nothin if you dont stay the same
D G
and when he died the preacher cried and said he's the lucky one
D A
he's walkin hand in hand with god's only son
D G
my faith and common sense tell me the preachers right
D A D
id love to hear the banjoplay for me tonight
CHOROUS:
G D
and i will honor my father with these words i write down
G D
and as long as i remember he'll always be around
D G
and the pain of losin him cuts like a randall knife
D A D
i learned a few chords on the banjo was the key to life
D G
ya the pain of loosin him cuts like a randall knife
D A D
but i learned a few chords on the banjo was the key to life
INTRO RIFF TO END THE SONG.
