I asked a little boy to call his daddy

   G7                   C
He said he couldn't and sighed

    E7               Am
And when I asked him what was wrong

D7                          G7     C
Here's what the little boy replied


   G7              C            G7                      C   C7
My Daddy is only a picture in a frame that hangs on the wall

     F                C         D7                G7
Each day I talk to my daddy but he never talks at all

  G7                 C           G7               C    C7
I tell him all of my secrets and all of my little plans

    F               C              D7      G7    C
And from the way he smiles at me I know he understands


    G7                   C           G7                  C   C7
The angels took Daddy to heaven when I was just going on three

    F                   C             D7                     G7
But I'll bet they never told him  how blue and lonesome we'd be

                     C              G7                  C   C7
I try to cheer up my mommy when the tears roll down her face

   F               C               D7        G7       C
My daddy is only a picture but I'm trying to take his place
