  • Album:

    Best Of: Butterfly Kiss...

Hey there! This is my first posted chord chart, but I've been making them for a 
few years now, for my church and for myself.
This is based off of what I heard on Bob Carlisle's Youtube account.

As a bass player, I've marked out what the bass is playing by using slash chords
(i.e. Dm/C, C/E, F/A, etc...)
For those who are unfamiliar with the concept of slash chords, here's a quick explanation:
The first part,Dm, is the chord that's being played,
while the second part after the slash, C, is the note sustained by the bassist.

Also, when I place a <> by a chord, that means to hold a chord and let it ring out.

Enjoy!

She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl.
     Dm          C/E         F          G
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, 
Dm            C/E       F           G
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
      F/A            G/B        C         F/A<>
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life,

Am             C
Sweet sixteen today,
       Am                              C
She's looking like her momma a little more everyday.
Dm       C/E         F         G
One part woman, the other part girl.
    Dm         C/E          F           G
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
F/A          G/B            C          F/A<>           
Trying her wings out in a great big world.

But I remember...

"You know how much I love you daddy, but if you don't mind..

All the precious time.

She'll change her name today.

She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Dm                C/E             F         G
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
     Dm                 C/E             F            G
She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "I'm not sure,
F/A                  G/B         C   F/A<>
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."  
                  G
Then she leaned over....and gave me....

Butterfly Kisses with her mamma there

To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses 
            F/A                   G/B
I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is
       A#             A#6              G
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember

Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...
