D C G D
I had a lover prettiest thing I ever seen
Just like all good things
C G D
There was a day she went away
Had the best mother that a man could have
C G D
And my family understands
C G
When I see Daddy my Daddy say to myself
D
He's a hell of a man
D
So I'm sittin' here thinkin' about
C G D
How we used to be together
And it's a lonesome road
C G D
Even I tell you that you don't live forever
C G D
No you don't live forever
C G C G
Listen to me baby
C G D
What I'm tryin' to say
C G C G
I can't understand it
C G D Dm7 D Dm7 D (Dm7)
When you treat me this way
