Story behind the song
yeah when he came home a little worse for wear we would go thru the ritual mentioned in the song .. happy days I miss him love on yer Dad
Lyrics
C
After a long nights drinking
F Dm
He’d come home and he’d be thinking
Gm
How he’d tell his family
Ebmaj7 C7
how much he loved them
Gm
But as he staggered through the door
Dm
He couldn’t take no more
Bb C7 F F7
And so instead of talking he would sing his song
Bb
When daddy sang the blues
F
we could always pick and choose
C7
To listen to him singing, singing out his pain
Bb Bbdim 3rd fret
Or to laugh and put him down
F D
And his smile became a frown
Gm C7 F Fdim
When daddy sang, when daddy sang the blue--es
F C7 F
When daddy sang, when daddy sang the blues
C
He knew we weren’t really listening
F Dm
To his words of drinking wisdom
Gm Ebmaj7 C7
And of how his life turned out the way it was
Gm
We’d carry on - not listening
Dm
But he knew he could get attention
Bb C7 F F7
If he told his life-story in a song
Bb
When daddy sang the blues
F
we could always pick and choose
C7
To listen to him singing yeah singing out his pain
Bb Bbdim 3rd fret
Or to laugh and put him down
F D
And his smile became a frown
Gm C7 F Fdim
When daddy sang, when daddy sang the blue--es
F C7 F
When daddy sang, when daddy sang the blues
SOLO IN CHORUS
Middle 8
C7
He find his old harmonica
F
And he would start to play
Dm Gm C
The story of his life in his own way
Bb Bbdim 3rd fret
And when we started listening
F Em Dm
We’d know his song was glistening
Gm C C+ F F7
With memories of his happy child hood days
Chorus
Bb
When daddy sang the blues
F
we could always pick and choose
C7
To listen to him singing yeah singing out his pain
Bb Bbdim 3rd fret
Or to laugh and put him down
F D
And his smile became a frown
Gm C7 F Fdim
When daddy sang, when daddy sang the blue--es
F C7 Bb Fdim
When daddy sang, when daddy sang the blues
F C7 F Fdim
I’m glad my daddy sang those blues--es
F Dm Gm-C6 Bb7 F6high
I’m glad my daddy sang those blues—es
