David Allan Coe - Single Father
Capo 1
E
Latley I?ve been spendin? lots of time with my kid
A
Tellin? him stories, about the things that we did
E B7
When we were a family, such a long time ago
E
I?ve answered his questions, till I?m blue in the face
A
There?s so many things, time can?t erase
E B7
So I just tell him the truth
E
Cause he not to young to know.
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Such is the life, of a Single Father
E
He says tell me dad, if it?s not too much bother
B7 E
Why it?s just you and me, living here in this home
A
I said I know there just two, when there ought to be three of us
E
Sharing this moments
B7
You know son I guess sometimes at night
E
I feel so alone.
[Chorus]
A
Single Father
E
And part time mother
B7
When I?m not one
E
Then I?m the other
A
And I used to have
E
A full time lover
B7
Now I?m a Single Father
E
And a part time mother.
E
Lately I?ve been spendin? lots of time with my boy
A
There?s no doubt about it, he?s my pride and joy
E B7
But someday he will grow up, and I won?t have him no more
E
There was so many I found hard to explain
A
So I just took him to McDonald?s, or bought him a little train
E B7 E
And we go put it together, on the living room floor.
