_ _ _ _ _ _ Daddy played the banjo neath the [D] yellow tree _
It rang [E] across the backyard, an old time melody
_ _ I loved to hear the [F#] music, [A] I was only five
_ [A] I listened as his fingers made the banjo come alive _ _
Sometimes I'd wake up at night and hear a [Bm] distant tune _ _
The banjo would echo round my childhood [E]
room
_ [A] I'd sneak down the back stairs, Daddy never [D] knew
_ I'd grab a broom and make believe I was picking too
_ One [E] day Daddy put my fingers [A] down upon the strings
He [E] picked it with his other hand, we made the [E] banjo ring _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [A] Now the music takes me back across the [D] yellow day
_ [A] To the summers with my [E] Dad and the tenors [A] we played _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ But I'm just telling lies about the [D] things I did
_ _ [Bm] _ _ See [A] I'm that banjo player who never had a [E] kid _ _ _
_ _ _ Now I sit beneath that [D] yellow tree
_ _ [A] Hoping that a kid somewhere is listening to me _
Daddy played the banjo neath [Bm] the yellow tree
_ [A] It rang across the backyard and wove a spell on [E] me
_ Now the banjo takes me back through the [D] foggy haze
Where [A] memories of what never was become the good old [A] days _
