Daddy Sang Bass - Johnny Cash
[Verse 1]
I re[C]member when I was a lad
Times were [F] hard and things were [C] bad
But there's a silver linin' behind every [G7] cloud
Just poor [C] people that all we [C7] were
Tryin' to make a [F] livin' out of blackland [C] earth
But we'd get together in a family [G7] circle singin' [C] loud. ...
|[Chorus]
|Daddy sang bass, mama sang [C] tenor [C7]
|Me and little bro[F]ther would join right [C] in there
|Singin' seems to help a troubled [G7] soul
|One of these [C] days and it won't be [C7] long
|I'll rej[F]oin them in a [C] song
|I'm gonna join the family [G7] circle at the [C] throne. ...
|No, the circle won't be broken [C7]
|Bye and [F] bye, Lord, bye and [C] bye ...
|Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing [C] tenor [C7]
|Me and little bro[F]ther will join right [C] in there
|In the sky, Lord, [G7] in the [C] sky. [C] [G7] [C]
[Verse 2]
Now I re[C]member after work mama would [F] call in all of [C] us
You could hear us singin' for a country [G7] mile
Now little br[C]other has done [C7] gone on but I'll re[F]join him in a [C] song
We'll be together again up [G7] yonder in a little [C] while.
|[Chorus]
|Daddy sang bass, mama sang [C] tenor [C7]
|Me and little bro[F]ther would join right [C] in there
|Singin' seems to help a troubled [G7] soul
|One of these [C] days and it won't be [C7] long
|I'll rej[F]oin them in a [C] song
|I'm gonna join the family [G7] circle at the [C] throne. ...
|No, the circle won't be broken [C7]
|Bye and [F] bye, Lord, bye and [C] bye ...
|Daddy'll sing bass, mama'll sing [C] tenor [C7]
|Me and little bro[F]ther will join right [C] in there
|In the sky, Lord, [G7] in the [C] sky. [C] [G7] [C]
