Daddy’s All Gone
James Taylor (c) 1976
G Am7 D C/D
I don’t have much to say
G Am7 D C/D
Thought I’d call you up any-way
G Am7 D
Just to try to show you the way
B7 Em7
That I feel today
F/C C
Oh, I miss you ba-by
G Am7 D C/D
I sure am on the road
G Am7 D C/D
I don’t need to say much more
G Am7 D
Just the same old well-known stranger
B7 Em7
That I was before
F/C C
It seems like yesterday now
G Am7 D C/D
Daddy’s all gone
G Am7 D C/D
Only halfway home
G Am7 D
He’s holding on to the telephone
B7 Em7 F/C C
Saying, Please don’t let the show go on.
D G — Am7 Bm7 C C/D
There’s a bus every other hour [G Am7 D C/D]
There’s even the midnight train [G Am7 D C/D]
But that don’t leave me the power [G Am7 D]
To see your face again [B7 Em7 ]
It’s not that simple [F/C C]
You see, there’s a room full of smiling faces [G Am7 D C/D]
There’s a man standin’ by the door [G Am7 D C/D]
Says it’s time to change our places [G Am7 D]
And get down on the floor [B7 Em7 ]
Kill ’em, baby [F/C C]
Daddy’s all gone [G Am7 D C/D]
He’s just halfway home [G Am7 D C/D]
He’s holding on to the microphone [G Am7 D]
Singing, Please don’t make the show go on. [B7 Em7 F/C C]
