Daddy Could Swear Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Oh, how I remember daddy
He was young and had a built in tan, yeah
And though he only stood
about a five feet seven
My daddy was a heck of a man,
yes, he was, y'all

[Verse 2]
He [Em]loved us all and we knew it, yeah
Though he showed it in a
very funny way
For most of the time he was a-
cussin' and fussin'

[Verse 3]
When he said what he had to say
[Em]Daddy couldn't read,
[A]daddy couldn't write
But [Em]one thing daddy [A]sure could do right

[Verse 4]
He [A]could swear[Em][A]
Oh, Lord, I declare
[Em]Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy could [A]swear[Em][A]
I declare, [Em]ooh, have mercy

[Verse 5]
[Em]I still remember seein'
him in the backyard
Just a- pickin' and a- paintin' away
Ooh, my brothers and
sisters still talk about
How daddy lost his temper that day
You see, he built a picket fence
from the garage to the house

[Verse 6]
Well, [Em]Sam, tell me what I say
The same day the garbage man
backed into the fence
And the whole darn thing gave way

[Verse 7]
You should have been there
[Em]Daddy couldn't read,
[A]daddy couldn't wri[Em]te
One thing daddy [A]sure could do right

[Verse 8]
He could [A]swear, [Em]I de[A]clare[Em]
Yes, he could, y'all
Daddy [A]could swear, [Em]I dec[A]lare[Em]
Yes, he could, y'all

[Verse 9]
Tell 'em about, [Em]tell about your daddy
My daddy was a bad mouth, y'all
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
My daddy was a bad mouth, y'all
Watch ya say, watch your mouth
My daddy was a bad mouth, y'all
Watch ya say,
watch your mouth
[E][Em][E][A]

[Verse 10]
My, my, my,
[Em]my daddy wasn't no scholar, no
No, he didn't have Phd.
But in my eyes and deep down in my heart
My daddy means the world to me

[Verse 11]
He'll [Em]probably go out talkin'
about daddy
Cursin', just a- fussin'
and a- bein' mad
But I hope the good Lord will understand

[Verse 12]
That daddy's is just bein' my dad
[Em]Daddy couldn't read,
[A]daddy couldn't wri[Em]te
But one thing daddy [A]sure could do right

[Verse 13]
He [A]could swear
I [Em]declare, y'all
Yes, he could
He could [A]swear
I de[Em]clare

[Verse 14]
[Em]Have mercy
Cursin', just a- fussin', I declare
That my daddy's
He could swear, y'all
Talkin' about daddy, I declare, y'all

[Verse 15]
[Em]That my daddy's
He could swear
Talkin' about daddy
[E]I declare, y[Em]'all

[Verse 16]
That [E]my daddy's[Em]
He could swear, y'all
Talkin' [Em]about daddy
