I asked a little boy to call his daddy
G7 C
He said he couldn't and sighed
E7 Am
And when I asked him what was wrong
D7 G7 C
Here's what the little boy replied
G7 C G7 C C7
My Daddy is only a picture in a frame that hangs on the wall
F C D7 G7
Each day I talk to my daddy but he never talks at all
G7 C G7 C C7
I tell him all of my secrets and all of my little plans
F C D7 G7 C
And from the way he smiles at me I know he understands
G7 C G7 C C7
The angels took Daddy to heaven when I was just going on three
F C D7 G7
But I'll bet they never told him how blue and lonesome we'd be
C G7 C C7
I try to cheer up my mommy when the tears roll down her face
F C D7 G7 C
My daddy is only a picture but I'm trying to take his place
