G5                  G5           C5 
I remember lookin up, to look up to him , 
G5                         G5         C5 
And I remember most the time, he wasn't there, 
       E5              D5               C5 
I'd be waiting at the door, when he got home at night, 
      C5                G5                 D5  D5           
He's pass me by to go pass out in his chair,     And I'd say, 
 
(Chorus 1) 
 

G5               E5 
Walk a little straighter daddy, 
   C5               D5 
You're swayin side to side, 
G5                       E5 
Your footsteps make me dizzy, 
        C5           D5 
And no matter how I'd try, 
        A5          G5 
I keep trippin and stumblin, 
         C5 
If you'd look down here you'd see, 
               A5       C5     D5 
Walk a little straighter daddy, 
                    G5  | - G5 - C5 
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) 
 

        C5 
The old man still like he always was, 
      G5 
But I, love him anyway 
        A5 
If I've learned one thing from him it's my, 
          C5              D5 
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
