G                  G/B           C9 
I remember lookin up, to look up to him , 
G                         G/B         C9 
And I remember most the time, he wasn't there, 
       Em7              D               C9 
I'd be waiting at the door, when he got home at night, 
      C                G                 D  D4           
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, 
   C9               D 
You're swayin side to side, 
G                       Em7 
Your footsteps make me dizzy, 
        C9           D 
And no matter how I'd try, 
        Am7          G/B 
I keep trippin and stumblin, 
         C9 
If you'd look down here you'd see, 
               Am7       C     D 
Walk a little straighter daddy, 
                    G  | - G/B - C9 
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
