Dance With My Father Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Back when I was [D]a child
[C]
Before life re[Dsus4]moved all
[D]the [G]innocence
My father would lift [D]me [C]high
And dance with my [Dsus4]mother an[D]d me
And then
[G]Spin me around 'till I fell [C]asleep
[Cm]Then up the stairs he would carr[Dsus4]y me[G]
And I knew [A]for sure
I was [Dsus4]loved[D]

[Verse 2]
If [G]I could get ano[D]ther chance
An[Em]other walk
An[C]other dance with him
[Am]I'd play a song that would[C]
[Em]nev er ever end
How I'd [C]love love love
To dance with [Dsus4]my father
[G]aga[C]in[G]
[D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]
When [G]I and my mother
Would dis[D]agree
[G]To [D]get[G] my[C] way I would run[Dsus4]
[D]From her to him
[G]He'd make me laugh just to comfor[D]t me
[C]Then finally make me do
[Dsus4]Just what[D] my mama said
[G]Later that night when I was[C] asleep
[Cm]He left a dollar under my sh[Dsus4]eet[G]
[Dsus4]Never dreamed t[A]hat he
Would be gone from [Dsus4]me[D]
[Dsus4]If

[Verse 4]
[G]I could steal one f[D]inal glance
One [Em]final step
One [C]final dance with him
[Am]I'd play a song that
[Em]would never ever end
How I'd [C]love love love to
[Dsus4]Dance with my fat[D]her aga[G]in

[Verse 5]
[C]Sometimes I'd listen outside the[D] door
[G]And I'd hear how mama
[D]would [Em]cry for him
[C]I'd pray for her even mor[Dsus4]e than me[D]
[Am]I'd pray for her even
[D]more than me
Yehe yeah
[G][D][Bm][Em]

[Verse 6]
[C]
I [A]know I'm praying for [E]much to [C#m]much
[F#m]But could you send her
The [D]only man she loved
[Bm]I know you don't do it usually[F#m]
But Dear [D]Lord
She's dying to [Esus4]dance with my
[F#m]father [A]again[Bm]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]Every night I fall asleep

[Outro 1]
And this is all I ever dream
[Dm][D][A][E][F#m][D]
