D A D
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along,
G D D
every one that knew him knew which side that he would
A G D G
be on. He never was a hero, or this county's shining
D Em G
light, But you could always find him standing up for
A D
what he thought was right.
D
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll
G D D
fall for anything. You've got to be your own man not a
A G D
puppet on a string. Never compromise what's right and
G D Em Em/F#
uphold your family name. You've got to stand for
G G/B A D
something or you'll fall for anything.
Verse 2
We might of been better off or owned a bigger house,
if daddy had done more given in or a little more
backing down. But we always had plenty just living his
advice. What ever you do today you'll have to sleep
with tonight.
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
G D G
I know that things are different than they were in
D G G
daddy's day, but I still believe what makes a man
G A
really hasn't changed.
