Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
I was just a little boy
when daddy walked into the room
C 
on Christmas night
D 
Holding all those special
presents in his arms
G 
That he wrapped up so nice
C 
G 
That he always seemed to come around
on Christmas Day
C 
Just like old Santa Claus
D 
Then we'd open up our presents
with our daddy
G 
But I knew he'd soon be gone
Daddy seemed to find another life
Another place somewhere
C 
with someone new
D 
And I always wondered
why my mama
G 
Wasn't there inside that living room
Well, my little brother's eyes
would start to glow
C 
Meetin' daddy behind the door
D 
But I always wondered
if he understood
G 
Daddy don't need us anymore
C 
No, I don't come from a family
D 
G 
That shares the Christmas love and joy
Cause my daddy,
C 
he walked down on me
D

G 
So make yourself a Christmas
list
C 
And remember to put daddy on the top
D 
Cause you know he's got that
special kind of love
G 
That's never gonna stop
And on that Christmas day
When you're giving him
C 
that special gift you found
D 
Just put him in your arms
and thank the Lord
G 
That your daddy's still around
C 
No, I don't come from a family
D

That shares the Christmas love and joy
Cause my daddy,
