Intro
F# F# F# B
You know when I was about eight years old, used to go with my grandpa up to
B C# C#
the town square, set him down up there on a picnic bench and he used to play
F# F# F# F# B C#
checkers with them other old men up there. They used to tell stories bout when they were kids.
F# F# B B C# C# F#
Grandpa says he shot the chief of police, when he was nine years old. N' I believe him,
F# F# F# B C#
cause they tell me that Hazard, Kentucky's the baldest place in the world. Why,
F# F#
they say they used to sit out there on their front porch, shoot then revenuers,
B B C# C#
when they'd come down the hollow. Said they was so young,
F# F# F# F#
took two o' them boys to hold the rifle and one to pull the trigger, hymn. Well, grandpa,
B C# F# F# B C# F#
he'd lie a little bit, but I'll tell you, there's a lot of stories in Harlan County.
[Verse 1]
F# B F#
Yeah, folks in Harlan County Lord they knew that we were poor
C#
They always called my daddy preacher Dan
F# B F#
But daddy weren't no preacher least ways I don't recollect
C# F#
Never hear of papa talk of nothin' but the land.
[Chorus 1]
B C# F# B
C#nd Daddy Was A God Fearin’ farmer yes he was
F# C#
Could not read nor write Lord he could barely sign his name
B C# F# B
Daddy Was C# God Fearin’ farmer all his life
F# C# F#
Someday when I’m grown I’ll be the same.
[Verse 2]
F# B F#
Well he always grew tobacco though he did not smoke himself
C#
He had the best tobacco crop around
F# B F#
And he never touched a drop of liquor that I can recall
C# F#
Papa made his livin' on the ground.
[Verse 3]
F# B F#
Yes Sunday-go-to-meetin' called for more than he could stand
C#
I guess he felt at home in his old clothes
F# B F#
But he never missed a Sunday takin’ momma to the church
C# F#
Maybe it was habit, Lord but Heaven only knows.
[Chorus 2]
B C# F# B
C#nd Daddy Was A God Fearin’ farmer yes he was
F# C#
Could not read nor write Lord he could barely sign his name
B C# F# B
Daddy Was C# God Fearin’ farmer all his life
F# C# F#
Someday when I’m grown I’ll be the same.
