(D) Daddy called me to his bed. He (G) said, "I don't have (D)long"
And I don't have many earthly things that (E)I can pass (A) along
He (D)held a (G)tattered (D)Bible. He (G)placed it in my (D)hand
He said "I (G)hope to (D)see you in the (A) blessed promise (D) land"
Chorus
It was (G)just a (C)tattered (G) Bible (D)Daddy gave to me
But it was all I needed to (E)bring me to my (A)knees
And (D)somewhere (G)up in (D)Heaven I (G)know my Daddy (D)smiled
As an (G)angel sweetly (D)told him how the (A)Lord had saved His (D)child
(D)Tears filled my eyes when Daddy died. I (G) turned and walked away(D)
I opened up his Bible and (E)on a special (A)page
(D)I found my (G)Daddy's (D)prayer list. My own name (G)I could (D)see
Though (G)it was dimmed and (D)faded by the tears he (A)shed for (D)me
That was the best I could do by ear. I may have missed a few chords.
