[Intro]
  G x4 Cadd9 x2 G x2

GWe (320003@1)were poor when I was a youngun 
I don't remember ever going hungry 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                      GDaddy (320003@1)made sure we didn't do without 
GI (320003@1)went to school with some of these fellas 
They had money and I was jealous 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                        GI (320003@1)didn't know then what I know now 
                DDaddy'd (xx0232@1)say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover 
     C (x32010@1)                DIt's (xx0232@1)what's inside that really matters

CHORUS 
            G (320003@1)              Cadd9Daddy (x32030@1)never was the Cadillac kind 
             C (x32010@1)                     DHe (xx0232@1)said some things just glitter and shine 
                  G (320003@1)          Cadd9 (x32030@1)                  C (x32010@1)He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy 
            D (xx0232@1)                  GDaddy (320003@1)never was the Cadillac kind

GI (320003@1)left home right out of high school 
Bought me a big car thought I was real cool 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                         GCruisin' (320003@1)around the old neighborhood 
GI'd (320003@1)see Dad after church on Sunday 
I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                       GHe (320003@1)just said no, I never understood 
DHe (xx0232@1)asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit 
C (x32010@1)                DDaddy (xx0232@1)just smiled, I'll never forget it

REPEAT CHORUS 
GIt (320003@1)took a while but now I'm grown 
Cadd9
I've settled down with kids of my own 
CThe (x32010@1)more I give them 
DThe (xx0232@1)more they want

GDaddy (320003@1)left us last November 
I don't remember him ever looking better 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                    GAll (320003@1)laid out in his Sunday best 
GI'm (320003@1)sure instead of all the attention 
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned 
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                     GA (320003@1)simple man simply laid to rest 
DAs (xx0232@1)they drove him away in that big Cadillac 
       C (x32010@1)              DWith (xx0232@1)a tear in my eye I had to laugh

REPEAT CHORUS
