Dance With My Father Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Csus4][C][G][Am][F]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Back when I was [G]a child[F]
Before life removed all the innocence
[C]My father would lif[G]t me hig[F]h
And dance with my mother and me
And then [Em]spin me around
'til I fell [F]asleep
Then up the stairs he
would [Gsus4]carry me[C]
[Gsus4]And I knew fo[D]r sure I was loved[Gsus4][G]
If [C]I could get ano[G]ther chance
An[Am]other [F]walk, another dance with him
[Dm]I'd play a song that would
[Am]nev er ever end
How I'd [F]love, love, love
To [Gsus4]dance with my father
[C]again
[G][Am][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]When I and my mother will dis[G]agree
[Am]To get m[F]y way [Am]I would[F]
run from her to him
[C]He'd make me laugh just to comfor[G]t me,
yeah, yeah
[F]Then finally make me do
just what my mama says
[Em]Later that night when I was [F]asleep
He left a dollar under [G]my [C]sheet
Never [D]dreamed that he would
be [Gsus4]gone from me[G]
If [C]I could steal one f[G]inal glance
One [Am]final step, one [F]final dance with him
[Dm]I'd play a song that will never,[Am]
never end
'Cause I'd [F]love,
I'd love to [Gsus4]dance with my father aga[C]in

[Verse 3]
[F]Sometimes I'd listen outside
[Gsus4]her door[G]
[C]And I'd hear how my
mama [Am]cried for [G]him
[F]I pray for her even
[Gsus4]more than me[G]
[Dm]I pray for her even more[Gsus4] than me[G]
[C][G][Am][Gsus4][G]
[F][G][F]

[Verse 4]
[D]I know I'm praying for [A]much too much
But [Bm]could you send back
the [G]only man she loved
[Em]I know you don't do it usually[Bm]
But [A]dear [G]Lord, she's dying
To [Asus4]dance with my fat[Bm]her again
[Gm]Every night I fall asleep
And [Em]this is all I [Gm]ever dream
