My Father's Daughter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][G]
She [Am]stepped off of the boat

[Verse 1]
[Am]
to [F]see flowers in his hands
[C]The man she would marry was
[G]as hard as the mountains
[Am]She had his children in a lo[F]g cabin
[C]Soon I'd be another star in this
[G]family's constellation
In the land of the midnight [Am]sun
Searching [G]for gold
I [C]am my father's daughter
He [G]has his mother's eyes
[Am]I am the product of her sacrific[F]e
I [C]am the accumulation of
[G]the dreams of generations
And [Am]their stories live in me
[F]like [C]holy wa[G]ter
I am my father's [C]daughter

[Verse 2]
[Am]My father raised me in an ol[F]d log cabi[C]n
And he sang for me the [G]songs
his mother sang to him
In [Am]honky- tonks, and empty bars,
[F]just me and him
And that old guitar
[C]He passed on a legacy
[G]wrapped up in a melody
And I [Am]carry on
Searching [G]for gold
[C]I am my father's

[Verse 3]
[G]daughter
I have his eyes
[Am]I am the product of his [F]sacrifice
[C]I am the accumulation of
[G]the dreams of generations
And [Am]their stories live in me [F]like [C]holy wa[G]ter
I am my father's [C]daughter
[Am]And every time I step

[Verse 4]
on stage
[C]And the music

[Verse 6]
finds me
[Am]I don't need gold to remind [G]me

[Verse 7]
I [C]am my father's daughter
I [G]have my Grandma's eyes
[Am]I am the product of such[F] sacrifice

[Verse 8]
I [C]am the accumulation of
[G]the dreams of generations
And [Am]their stories live in me
[F]like [C]holy [G]wa ter
I am my father's [Am]daughter
[F]Oh, I am my father's [C]daughter
