[Verse 1]
C
So long old cowboy

Goodbye my friend
Dm
Guess I'll see you again
       F
I'll cherish your stories
     G                               C
I'll tell all your jokes like their mine
           C
With your rolled up sleeves

And your head in the wind
Dm
You could do anything
F
Selling the flowers
    G
You painted the houses
     G7              C
And you sang like a king

[Chorus]
 C
Toothpick Louis your hair is a mess
Dm
But your smile is just fine
     F                          G
You brought me the laughter and tears
             C
Oh daddy of mine

[Verse 2]
    C
You sat at your front porch with the dog by your side
Dm
Saw the world passing by
    F
Complained to the neighbors about
     G                                 C
The weather, told the story of your live
     C
You came from a time where living was easy
Dm
Now everything's so fast
       F                     G
When people stopped talking, you thought of leaving
                       C
Now that's all in the past

[Chorus]
 C
Toothpick Louis your hair is a mess
Dm
But your smile is just fine
     F                          G
You brought me the laughter and tears
             C
Oh daddy of mine

[Instrumental]
  C Dm F G C

[Verse 3]
        C
The magnolia in autumn is losing its leaves
Dm
It's setting them free
    F                      G
I hope where you're going they are in bloom
                 C
And forever will be

[Chorus]
 C
Toothpick Louis your hair is a mess
Dm
But your smile is just fine
     F                          G
You brought me the laughter and tears
             C
Oh daddy of mine

[Chorus]
 C
Toothpick Louis your hair is a mess
Dm
But your smile is just fine
     F                          G
You brought me the laughter and tears
             C
Oh daddy of mine
