Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind

written by Dave Gibson and Bernie Nelson

from the album "Notorious"

NOTE: I couldn't get the other tab (which is in G) to work. This one's in E, and

it sounds a lot better (to me, at least).

CAPO II

INTRO: D

D

We were poor when I was a young'un, I don't remember ever goin' hungry

G D

Daddy made sure we didn't do without

I went to school with some of these fellas, they had money and I was jealous

G D

I didn't know then what I know now

A

Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by lookin' at the cover

G A7

It's what's inside that really matters

CHORUS:

G D

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

Bm G A

He said some things just glitter and shine

G G/F# G/B Em

Tought us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy

G A7 D

Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

I left home right outta high school, got me a big car thought I was real cool

Cruisin' around the old neighborhood

I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday, say "you have to go ridin' with me someday"

He just said no, I never understood

He asked me how I bought it I told him on credit

Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Bm D/A

It took a while but now I'm grown

Bm D/A

Settled down with kids of my own

Bm G A7

The more I give 'em the more they want

Daddy left us last November, I don't remember him ever lookin' better

All laid out in his Sunday best

I'm sure instead of all that attention, all he'd a-wanted were a few words mentioned

A simple man simply laid to rest

As they drove him in that big Cadillac

With a tear in my eye I had to laugh

CHORUS:

'Cause Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

He said some things just glitter and shine

Well just this once I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride

'Cause Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

G G/F# A7 D

No my Daddy never was.........the Cadillac kind
