Someone else already put this up, but a few words were wrong and
it was also missing a few chords.
This one is pretty darn close to the original for rhythm guitar.
Hopefully the chords all stay where I put them!
Any fancy licks etc you'll have to work out yourself ;)
Enjoy!

EDaddy shoulda been a preacher man
'Cause everyAbody loved to hear him sEpeak

He'd say, "FTrouble always sDtarts as fun,"
And, "ABroken hearts will always Emend."
"Tough F#mtimes don't last, tough pDeople do,"
And, "ANothin' breaks if it can bEend."
"Don't ever sell your sDaddle."
"Never owe another mAan."
"Watch wBmhere you spit on a wEindy day."
"Don't use wAords you can't understand."
"Find the Lord before you nDeed him."
And, "Never lose your pF#mride."
"Don't ever sell your sBmaddle, F#m
'Cause lDife's a lEong, long rAide."
EDadAdy EnevAer ran from anything
Always tAook his share of the bElame
Had a hEeart big enough to fill a valley up
But hAard enough to stop a tErain
He said, "F#mOnly fight when yDou have to,
'Cause there's aAlways a faster gEun."
And, "You'll F#mknow a hero from a cDoward

O, How I Love Jesus
TGhere is a name I love to hear;

The swCeetest D7name on Gearth.
GO, how I love Jesus,
D7O, how I love GJesus,

BecCause He D7first loved Gme!
It tells me of a Saviour?s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner?s perfect plea.
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.
