(Capo first fret)

Intro chords G - G/B - Cadd9


(verse)

G                  G/B           Cadd9
I remember lookin up, to look up to him,
G                         G/B         Cadd9
And I remember most the time, he wasn't there,
       Em7              D               Cadd9
I'd be waiting at the door, when he got home at night,
      C                G                 D  Dsus4/D         
He's pass me by to go pass out in his chair,     And I'd say,


(chorus 1)

G               Em7
Walk a little straighter daddy,
   Cadd9               D
You're swayin side to side,
G                       Em7
Your footsteps make me dizzy,
        Cadd9           D
And no matter how I'd try,
        G6          Bm/5+
I keep trippin and stumblin,
         Cadd9
If you'd look down here you'd see,
               Am7       C     D
Walk a little straighter daddy,
                    G - G/B - Cadd9
You're leading me,


(Verse 2)

He stumbled in the gym, on graduation day,
And I couldn't help but feel, so ashamed,
And I wasn't suprised a bit, that he didn't stay.
He stumbled out before they called my name, And I thought,


(chorus 2)

Walk a little straighter daddy,
You're swayin side to side,
It's not just me who's whachin,
You caught everybody's eye,
And you're trippin and stumblin,
And even though I've turned eighteen,
Walk a little straighter daddy,
You're still leading me

(bridge)

        C
The old man still like he always was,
      G/B
But I, love him anyway
        Am7
If I've learned one thing from him it's my,
          C              D
Kids will never have to say,


(chorus 1)

Walk a little straighter daddy,
You're swayin side to side,
Your footsteps make me dizzy,
And no matter how I'd try,
I keep trippin and stumblin,
If you'd look down here you'd see,
Walk a little straighter daddy,
You're leading me,
Walk a little straighter daddy,
You're leading me,
