Intro 1
(B flat major) (F/A) (G minor) (E flatadd9) (E flatadd9)
Verse 1
(B flat major) Back when I was a child (F/A)
(E flat major) Before life removed (F9sus4) all the innocence (F major)
(B flat major) My father would lift (F/A) me high
(E flat major) And dance with my mother (F9sus4) and (F major) me
And then
(B flat/D) Spin me around 'till I fell (E flat major) asleep
(E flat minor/Gb) Then up the stairs he would carry (B flat/F) me
And I knew (C/E) for sure
I was loved (F7sus4) (F7)

Chorus 1
If (B flat major) I could get another (F/A) chance
Another (G minor) walk
Another (E flat major) dance with him
(C minor) I'd play a song that would never (G minor) ever end
How I'd love (E flat major) love love
To (F7sus4) dance with my (F7) father again
Interlude 1
(B flat major) (F/A) (G minor) (E flatadd9)
Verse 2
When (B flat major) I and my mother
Would disagree (F/A)
(E flat major) To get my way I would run (F9sus4)
From (F major) her to him
(B flat major) He'd make me laugh just to
comfort (F/A) me yeah yeah
(E flat major) Then finally make me do (F9sus4)
Just what (F major) my mama said
(B flat/D) Later that night when I was (E flat major) asleep
(E flat minor/Gb) He left a dollar under (B flat/F) my sheet
Never dreamed (C/E) that he
Would be gone (C minor7) from me (F7sus4) (F7)
Chorus 2
If (B flat major) I could steal one (F/A) final glance
One (G minor) final step
One (E flat major) final dance with him
(C minor) I'd play a song that would never (G minor) ever end
'Cause I'd love (E flat major) love love
To (F7sus4) dance with my (F7) father again (B flat major)
Bridge 1
(E flat major) Sometimes I'd listen outside (F major) her door
(B flat major) And I'd hear how my ma (F/A) ma cried (G minor7) for him
(E flat major) I'd pray for her even more (F7sus4) than me (F7)
(C minor7) I'd pray for her even more (F7sus4) than me
(F7)
Interlude 2
(B flat major) (F/A) (G minor) (E flatadd9)
Chorus 3
I (C major) know I'm praying for (G/B) much too much
But (A minor7) could you send back
The (F major) only man she loved
(D minor7) I know you don't do it usually (A minor9)
But Dear Lord (F major)
She's dying to (G7sus4) dance with my (G7) father
a (A minor9) gain (D minor9)
(F minor6) Every night I fall asleep
Outro 1
And this is all I ever dream
(C major) (G/B)
(Fadd9) (D minor7) (G7sus4) (G7)
(C major)
