Intro

G D7 G

I asked a little boy to call his daddy

D7 G

He said he couldn't and sighed

B7 Em

And when I asked him what was wrong

A7 D7

here's what the little boy replied

D7 G D G G7

My Daddy is only a picture, in a frame that hangs on the wall

C Cm G Em A7 D7

Each day I talk to my daddy, but he never talks at all

D7 G D7 G G7

I tell him all of my secrets and all of my little plans

C Cm G Em A7 D7 G

and from the way he smiles at me, I know he understands

D7 G D7 G G7

The angels took Daddy to heaven, when I was just goin' on three

C Cm G Em A7 D7

But I'll bet they never told him - how blue and lonesome We'd be

D7 G D7 G G7

I try to cheer up my mommie, when the tears roll down her face

C Cm G Em A7 D7 G

My daddy is only a picture, but I'm tryin' to take his place
