[D] [A]
Barefoot, running across the fields of Alabama's fresh plowed ground.
[D]
Jumping rows [E] and stubbing toes, I'd run that old [A] mule down and daddy up his water jug.
And he'd say, boy, my throat sure is dry.
[D]
He'd take out his old [E] bandana and he'd wipe the sweat [A] from his eyes.
[C#]
[D] I'd take hold [E] of his calloused hands and we'd go [A] sit [A] down in the shade.
[D] And he'd [E] tell me about the places [B]
that [E] we were gonna see [A] someday.
When he'd talk [D] about the ocean, [A]
the simple words [E] he'd paint a picture
of a place he'd [A] never been.
And those skies [D] were as clear as [A] the sea on the days when we'd [E] go walking down the road to [A] daddy's tree.
[D]
[D] [Bm]
[A] My daddy's gone away now [C#m] and his dreams are [A] mine alone.
[D] And I've sure come a long, [E] long way from my Alabama home.
[B] [A]
I've traveled across [E] this country, Lord only [A] knows how many [D] times.
But I've never [E] found pictures that my daddy painted [A] in my mind.
[F#m] When he'd talk [D] about the ocean, I'd hear the tide come rolling [A] in.
The simple [F#m] words he'd [E] paint a picture of a place he'd [A] never been.
And those skies were as clear [D]
as [A] the sea on the days when [E] we'd go walking down the road to [D] daddy's tree.
