G           C/G               G 
Daddy never went to church on Sunday 
G                  C/G              G 
He said that's one thing I'll never do 
    C                           G 
But mama never gave up she said one day 
         Am7            C           Dsus   D 
He'll be sitting here beside me and you 
 
G                C/G         G 
I can still hear mama softly talking 
G                      C/G           G 
with her tears falling on her folded hands 
C                           G 
So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked in 
Am7             C           Dsus    D 
That's when I began to understand
