I asked a little boy to call his daddy 
   D7                   G 
He said he couldn't and sighed 
    B7               Em       
And when I asked him what was wrong 
A7                          D7 
here's what the little boy replied 
 
 
   D7              G             D                       G   G7 
My Daddy is only a picture, in a frame that hangs on the wall 
     C      Cm        G    Em    A7                D7 
Each day I talk to my daddy, but he never talks at all 
  D7                 G           D7               G    G7 
I tell him all of my secrets and all of my little plans 
    C        Cm     G        Em     A7      D7    G 
and from the way he smiles at me, I know he understands 
 
 
    D7                   G            D7                  G   G7 
The angels took Daddy to heaven, when I was just goin' on three 
     C       Cm         G       Em     A7                     D7 
But I'll bet they never told him - how blue and lonesome We'd be 
  D7                 G                D7                  G   G7 
I try to cheer up my mommie, when the tears roll down her face 
   C        Cm     G      Em        A7        D7       G 
My daddy is only a picture, but I'm tryin' to take his place
