CAPO I


INTRO: G5  D5  G5  D5  G5

D5                                        G5
Daddy's been a back-row Baptist with his share of front-row sin
      D5                                         A5                     A5
Those Saturday nights still on his breath every Sunday when he'd walk in
           D5                                    D5   G5
He's never led the benediction, he's never sang in the choir
            D5             G5        A5               D5      G5   D5   G5
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire

D5                            G5
Mama lives by the bible, the bible lives by the bed
      D5                              A5                 A5
She's lied alone so many nights with scriptures in her head
        D5                                      D5     G5
Prayin' Good Lord just be with him , I know his faith is tired
            D5             G5        A5               D5    D5
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire


CHORUS:
      G5               A5              B5 
And I know he lives a little left of livin' right
    G5                  A5             D5
And he's come close to goin' way too far a few times
        B5               A5                   G5                 D5
But I'd trade a thousand prayers if just one prayer would come true
     E5       D5   G5            A5          D5    G5            
Lord please believe in him like I believe in You

D5                                      G5
Daddy's always been there for me, from tee-ball to touchdowns
D5                                    A5                   A5
Fixed my car and fixed my heart when they've been broken down
          D5                                           D5 G5
I know he calls for more foregiveness than most folks do  require
            D5             G5        A5               D5     D5
But he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire


CHORUS

     D5                         G5
Well I just can't imagine what Heaven might be like
   D5                           A5            A5
If me and Mama make it without Daddy by our side
     D5                                           D5    G5
Lord could you please remember when it's time to call us higher
             D5             G5        A5 
That he's an angel with no halo and one wing in the fire
