2 6   7   7 6    5   5    6
I woke up cryin' late at night
4 -3   5 5 -3   4
When I was very young
-3 5     5    -5 6 5
I had dreamed my father
4    -3   5 5 -5   -5
Had passed away and gone
2    6    7   7    6 -5   5
My world revolved around him,
5 6 4    -3    5   5 -3 4 -3
I couldn't lie there any - more
4 -3 5   -5 5   5    5   -5 6    5
So I made my way down the mirrored hall
4   -3    5 5 -5   -5
And tapped upon his door.
4 5 5      7 6    5 6 -6 6
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid!
5   5   6 -5 5   5    5   6    -5   5
How will I go on with you gone that way?
5     5   6   7 7 6 5
Don't want to cry anymore
5   5 -5   6   -6   -5
So may I stay with you?"
4 6 -5 5    5     -5 6
And he said, "That's my job,
5     -5 6 6
That's what I do
-6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6   7   5
Everything I do is because of you,
5   5    6   -5   7   7
To keep you safe with me
5    6 -5    5   5
That's my job, you see."

Verse 2:
Later we barely got along,
This teenage boy and he
Most of the fights it seems were over
Different dreams we each held for me
He wanted knowledge and learning,
I wanted to fly out west
Said, "I could make it out there,
If I just had the fare
I got half, will you loan me the rest?"
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid
There's no guarantee
In the plans I've made
And if I should fail
Who will pay my way back home?"
And he said, "That's my job,
That's what I do
Ev'rything I do is because of you to keep
You safe with me
That's my job, you see."

-7 -7 -7 7    7     7   6
Every person carves his spot
5    5    5   -5   6     6
And fills the hole with light
-5 -5 5    5   5 -5   6
And I pray someday I might
5   5     6   -5 -5
Light as bright as he.

Verse 3:
Woke up early one bright fall day
To read the tragic news
After all my travels, I settled down
Within a mile or two
I make my livin' with words and rhymes
And all the tragedy
Should go into my head and out instead
As bits of poetry.

But I say, "Daddy I'm so afraid
How will I go on with you gone this way
How can I come up with a song to say,
"I love you."
"That's my job, that's what I do
Ev'rything I do is because of you to
Keep you safe with me
That's my job, you see."

-6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6 7 5
Everything I do is because of you,
5 5 6 -5 7 7
To keep you safe with me.
