Did You See My Daddy Over There

(início)

C
A little boy tugged gently
F                    C
At a soldier's khaki sleeve
He says forgive me mister
    D7                   G7
But you've been across I believe
C
I see the purple heart you wear
F                           C
That tells what you've been through
F                   A7
Perhaps you know my daddy sir
D7           G7      C
Cause he's a soldier too
               F            C
Did you see my daddy mister soldier
                            G7
When you were fighting over there
I thought perhaps by chance
    C
You met him there in France
   D7
Or somewhere over there
           G7
Across the sea
C                 F                C
It's been so long since daddy went away
                                      G7
My mommy longs for him both night and day
  F
I know 'twould make her glad
   C
If you had seen my dad
F              G7         C
Did you see my daddy over there
The soldier's eyes grew misty
F                        C
As he watched the boyish face
For it recalled a memory
D7                G7
That time can not erase
C
A buddy lost in action
F                    C
The best pal he ever had
F                              A7
Till death he carried o'er his heart
D7        G7      C
A picture of this lad
               F            C
Did you see my daddy mister soldier
                            G7
When you were fighting over there
I thought perhaps by chance
    C
You met him there in France
   D7
Or somewhere over there
           G7
Across the sea
C                 F                C
It's been so long since daddy went away
                                      G7
My mommy longs for him both night and day
  F
I know 'twould make her glad
   C
If you had seen my dad
F              G7         C
Did you see my daddy over there
