Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
A [G]house, not a home
Was a picture Satan painted
For [C]sweet little sister and [G]me
Our daddy would frown
While mother was praying
His heart was so hardened
that [D]he would not be[G]lieve

[Verse 2]
In [G]anger he'd swear,
his [C]voice cold and [G]loud
His Sundays were spent
Out with the gamblin' [D]crowd
I've [G]never seen my daddy
In[C]side the house of [G]God
For Satan held his hand,
down the [D]path of sin he trod

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Not long ago our circle was broken
When [C]God called on mother one [G]night
In a voice sweet and low
Her last words were spoken
Asking our daddy to [D]raise her children [G]right

[Verse 4]
The [G]angels rejoiced in [C]heaven last [G]night
I heard my daddy praying
"Dear God, make it [D]right"
He [G]was smiling and singing
With [C]tears in his [G]eyes
While mother with the angels
re[D]joiced last [G]night
While mother with the angels re
[D]joiced [C]las[D]t nig[C]ht
[G]
