needs a foundation

Daddy played rhythm guitar

He could make it sound like a locomotive
Or a cackling rooster
D 
strutting round the barn

He said he once played on stage
G 
with Ralph Stanley
F 
D 
G 
Loved to hear Daddy's rhythm guitar
C 
And hear the band play on
Daddy was shy about his steady hand
He knew it wasn't what the
G 
people were coming for
F 
But that old band
would have broke down
C 
if he stopped chuggin'
Bb 
G 
That hard -pumpin' rhythm guitar
C 
F 
had the band play on
Fm 
Hit a lick way down low,
ride it steady, ride
Drive it slow, drive it hard,
F 
C 
daddy rhythm guitar

Keep it coming down the line,
F 
in the groove, right on time
Like shoveling coal,
Fm 
F 
C 
F 
daddy rhythm guitar

Mm -hmm -hmm
Well, I'm thinking about
heading south to Nashville
Well, you can't get nowhere
F 
without that drive in your heart
Eb 
A little bit of soul in your voice,
Bb 
that's desire
Ab 
Fm 
F 
Lay down the law on rhythm guitar
Bb 
Gm 
Hear the band play on,
Bb 
hear them drive along
F 
Shove across the floor,
daddy rhythm guitar
Bb 
Gm 
Hear the band play on,
Bb 
hear them drive along
F 
Shove across the floor,
Bb 
little daddy rhythm guitar
Bbm 
Bb 
Maybe I really should know you
