[Intro]
D E A
[Verse 1]
A E D A
I remember when my daddy worked all day for just a dollar
D A E
And he never saved a penny, but at least the bills were paid
A E D
I've never seen a man work half as hard
A
And come home half as tired
D E A
Then give the Lord a tenth of all he made
[Chorus]
E A
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
D A E
And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
A E D A
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
D E A
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
[Verse 2]
A E D A
Now I've never seen a man that had more reason for complaining
D A E
But he'd smiled at me explaining how he never walked alone
A E
When they called me to his deathbed
D A D
I remember how my daddy just looked up
E A
And smiled and said I'm going home
[Chorus]
E A
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
D A E
And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
A E D A
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
D E A
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord

D E A
[Verse 3]
A E D A
Since my daddy left this world for one much better I've been watching
D A E
People worrying more, working for the things they can't afford
A E
In a world that's filled with problems
D A
No one's ever found the answers
D E A
To the things my daddy left up to the Lord
[Chorus]
E A
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
D A E
And so many times, he's told me this old world is not his home
A E D A
And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward
D E A
Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
[Outro]
D E A
Daddy did his best, then left the rest up to the Lord
