Daddy's All Gone
James Taylor (c) 1976

G   Am7                D   C/D
  I don't have much to say
G             Am7             D   C/D
  Thought I'd call you up any-way
G      Am7       D   
  Just to try to show you the way
B7          Em7
That I feel today
      F/C         C
Oh, I miss you ba-by

G   Am7            D   C/D
  I sure am on the road
G         Am7              D   C/D
  I don't need to say much more
G          Am7                 D   
  Just the same old well-known stranger
B7          Em7
That I was before
              F/C         C
It seems like yesterday now

G   Am7            D   C/D
  Daddy's all gone
G   Am7            D   C/D
  Only halfway home
G          Am7                 D   
  He's holding on to the telephone
B7        Em7          F/C             C
  Saying, Please don't let the show go on.
D G - Am7 Bm7 C C/D

There's a bus every other hour [G Am7 D C/D]
There's even the midnight train [G Am7 D C/D]
But that don't leave me the power [G Am7 D]
To see your face again [B7 Em7 ]
It's not that simple [F/C C]

You see, there's a room full of smiling faces [G Am7 D C/D]
There's a man standin' by the door [G Am7 D C/D]
Says it's time to change our places [G Am7 D]
And get down on the floor [B7 Em7 ]
Kill 'em, baby [F/C C]

Daddy's all gone [G Am7 D C/D]
He's just halfway home [G Am7 D C/D]
He's holding on to the microphone [G Am7 D]
Singing, Please don't make the show go on. [B7 Em7 F/C C]
 [D Eb - Bb F - C G - - ]
