He was sitting beside me in the passager seat

ÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

As I looked through the windshield at the quiet little  street

ÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G

He was smiling so proud as he gave me the key

ÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

But inside I knew he was as nervous as  me

ÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G

I said Daddy oh Daddy are you sure I know  how

ÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

Are you sure that I'm ready to drive this car  now

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ |D

He  said I'm right here beside  you

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |

And you're gonna do  fine

A7ÊÊÊÊÊ |DÊÊÊ  |

'Cause it's a long narrow  road

GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  A7ÊÊÊÊÊ  |BmÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G G/F# |Em

Only the Good Lord knows where it leads in the  end

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Em/DÊÊÊÊ  |A7/C# A7/BÊ |A7

But you got to  begin

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |GÊÊÊÊ A7ÊÊÊÊÊ |D

So keep your  hands on the wheel

Ê  |GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  A7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ |Bm

Believe in  the things that are  real

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |GÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊ |D

I was sitting in my chair and sneaking a look at  him

DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

Lying on the floor with his colouring  book

ÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G

Then he caught me watching and he climbed on my  knee

ÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

He said Daddy oh Daddy would you do one with  me

ÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G

Then I hugged him so tightly as we turned the  page

ÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

Said I haven't done this since I was your  age

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ |D

He  said I'm right here beside  you

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ |G

And you're  gonna do fine

ÊÊÊÊ  |BmÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊ |D

Daddy all you gotta do is keep it between the  linesÊ Ê ÊÊÊÊ  
|DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G

So we finished the picture and I put him to bed

ÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

Got down on my knees and I bowed my  head

ÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G

I said Father oh Father I feel so  alone

ÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

Are you sure I can riase him with his Mommy  gone

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |G

Then the answer came back so gentle and low

ÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |A7

And words of my Daddy from so long  ago

ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ  |
