My daddy is a dandy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,[Am][Bm][Am][D]
my [G]daddy is a dandy in the richest kinda sense
And he keeps up his appearance
at no matter what expense
He's a [C]dandy, a dandy,
[Ab]an d[D] I do love[Am] a dan[D]dy[Bm][G][A][Am]
[D]Oh, my

[Verse 2]
[G]daddy's been a dandy
ever since his early youth
With a heart as full of gold
as almost every single tooth
He's a [C]dandy, a [Am]dandy,
[G]an d I do love a [C]dandy[D][G]

[Verse 3]
When he [G]wander[Gm]s 'round [Edim]Chicago [Eb]in
[Dsus4]his shiny [D]Oxford [Daug]shoes
Every oth[Gm]er so- called [Edim]dandy
gets a [Eb]sudden fit [Dsus4]of blues[D]
Why there's nothing 'bout my
[Eb]daddy that's just not the very best
[D]Who els[Am]e in Illinois has[D] a[Eb]
[D]hand brocaded vest

[Verse 4]
You can [G]play a game of checkers
on his gold and Eton suit
Yep, my daddy is a dandy,
and a relat[D]ive to [G]boot
[D]He's [Am]a dandy, a dandy,
an[G]d I do [D]love [G]a dandy

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][D][G][Asus4][G][A][Am]
[D]

[Verse 5]
Just a [G]chip off daddy's diamond,
is enough to make you blink
And nobody else's stockings
are a lighter brighter pink
He's a [C]dandy, a [Am]dandy,
[Adim]an d I d[D]o love a dandy[G][Am]
[D]He wears

[Verse 6]
[G]rubies that are big enough
to swell a rich man's chest
When he picks his cup of coffee up
his finger's pointing west
He's a [C]dandy, a [Am]dandy,
an[G]d I do [Am]love [D]a dan[G]dy[C][Am][D]

[Verse 7]
When [D]he's [Gm]really out ca[Edim]vortin'
[Eb]you just[D] ought[Dsus4]ta see him go[D]
[Daug]Why just sta[Gm]nding on the cor[Edim]ner he's
a [Eb]one man minstrel s[Dsus4]how[D]
Why there's always something doing
[Eb]at no matter where he is[D]
And no one's [Adim]got a stick- pin[D]
with a pearl as big as his

[Verse 8]
[D]Why I [G]often love to dream of him
and wonder what he's found
[Ab]Yep, my [G]daddy is a dandy even
though he's not around
[Am]He's a dandy, a dandy,
[Adim]and I do[G] love a dandy
Who's [G]a daddy and a
[D]dandy [C]too[G][G]
