Daddy doesn’t pray anymore
   E                   A              B
I guess he’s finished talking to the Lord
    A                B                 E       G#        A
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor
     E              B      E   E4  E
But daddy doesn’t pray anymore

     E         B                     E  E4  E
I remember even when the times were bad
            E        A             B   E  G#
He thanked Jesus for everything he had
       A                    B
For a good wife and three children
         E    G#        A
And the food upon our plates
      E              B                    E   E4  E
Yeah, everything was right when he said, grace

E               B      E   E4  E
Daddy doesn’t pray anymore
    E                  A              B
I guess he’s finished talking to the Lord
    A                B                 E       G#        A
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor
     E              B      E   E4  E
But daddy doesn’t pray anymore

            E             B               E  E4  E
There was a time when we didn’t get along
      E                A                B    E 
Cause I thought I was right and he was wrong
G#          A              B
Still when I laid down at night
              E       G#       A
I’d hear him get down on his knees
     E             B          E  E4  E
And say a little prayer for me

E               B      E   E4  E
Daddy doesn’t pray anymore

He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor

Today I followed daddy down to church
     E                A                  B
And listened to the preacher read God’s word
    A                 B              E       G#     A
We sang his favorite hymn but daddy didn’t make a sound
     E               B                  E  E4  E
This afternoon we’ll lay him in the ground
     E              B         E  E4  E
But daddy doesn’t pray anymore
    E                  A               B
I guess he’s finally walking with the Lord
   A                 B                 E       G#        A
He used to fold his hands and bow his head down to the floor
     E             B       E   E4  E
But daddy doesn’t pray anymore
