CAPO I
INTRO: G D G D G
D G
Daddy's been a back-row Baptist with his share of front-row sin
D A A7
Those Saturday nights still on his breath every Sunday when he'd walk in
D D/F# G
He's never led the benediction, he's never sang in the choir
D G A D G D G
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire
D G
Mama lives by the bible, the bible lives by the bed
D A A7
She's lied alone so many nights with scriptures in her head
D D/F# G
Prayin' Good Lord just be with him, I know his faith is tired
D G A D D7
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire
CHORUS:
G A Bm
And I know he lives a little left of livin' right
G A D
And he's come close to goin' way too far a few times
Bm A G D/F#
But I'd trade a thousand prayers if just one prayer would come true
Em D/F# G A D G
Lord please believe in him like I believe in You
D G
Daddy's always been there for me, from tee-ball to touchdowns
D A A7
Fixed my car and fixed my heart when they've been broken down
D D/F# G
I know he calls for more foregiveness than most folks do require
D G A D D7
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire
CHORUS
D G
Well I just can't imagine what Heaven might be like
D A A7
If me and Mama make it without Daddy by our side
D D/F# G
Lord could you please remember when it's time to call us higher
D G A
That he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire
