[Intro]
D E A
[Verse 1]
A E D A
I remember how my daddy worked all day for just a dollar
D A E
He never saved a penny, but at least the bills were paid
A E D
And I've never seen a man work quite as hard
A
And come home half as tired
D E A
Then give away a tenth of all he made
[Chorus]
E A
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
D A E
So many times, he told me this old world was not his home
D E A D
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
[Post-Chorus]
D E A
[Verse 2]
A E D A
I've never seen a man that had more reason for complaining
D A E
He'd smile at me and claim that he never walked alone
A E
When he called me to his deathbed
D A
I remember how my daddy
D E A
just looked up and smiled and said I'm going home
[Chorus]
E A
Daddy said I'm making payments on a mansion
D A E
So many times, he told me this old world was not his home

And he told me he'd been promised he'd receive a fair reward

Daddy did the best he could then left the rest up to the Lord
