I asked a little boy to call his daddy 
   D5                   G5 
He said he couldn't and sighed 
    B5               E5       
And when I asked him what was wrong 
A5                          D5 
here's what the little boy replied 
 
 
   D5              G5             D5                       G5   G5 
My Daddy is only a picture, in a frame that hangs on the wall 
     C5      C5        G5    E5    A5                D5 
Each day I talk to my daddy, but he never talks at all 
  D5                 G5           D5               G5    G5 
I tell him all of my secrets and all of my little plans 
    C5        C5     G5        E5     A5      D5    G5 
and from the way he smiles at me, I know he understands 
 
 
    D5                   G5            D5                  G5   G5 
The angels took Daddy to heaven, when I was just goin' on three 
     C5       C5         G5       E5     A5                     D5 
But I'll bet they never told him - how blue and lonesome We'd be 
  D5                 G5                D5                  G5   G5 
I try to cheer up my mommie, when the tears roll down her face 
   C5        C5     G5      E5        A5        D5       G5 
My daddy is only a picture, but I'm tryin' to take his place
