INTRO:

[play:  F  Am  Bb  Am]  [x2]


VERSE:
              F      Am             Bb           Am
Since she was born I loved her, but we were soon apart
        F             Am     Bb       C
She was closer to her mother from the start
      Bb                          Am
I was happy enough strollin' her around
                   Bb                     C
But it seemed like something was tying me down


VERSE:
                 F                Am            Bb                Am
But gone are the days when I'd be reading while holdin' her on my lap
    F                   Am              Bb        C
The days when I'd get impatient for her afternoon nap
             Bb                Am                   Bb             C
Gone are the days when I would leave as soon as her mother would allow
Bb                     C               F
My little girl's got a full-time daddy now


VERSE:
     F             Am               Bb                  Am
I've always been a good dad but not confident, truth be told
          F    Am         Bb               C
Yeah, but now, now I come straight from my soul
              Bb                   Am
If there is a problem I'll work it out somehow
Bb                     C               F
My little girl's got a full-time daddy now


BRIDGE:
              Bb            Am         Bb        C
Well, she was closer to her mother and that's no crime
        Dm   Am              Bb         C
But not now, now she's got a daddy full time
            Bb           Am                 Bb           Am
It took her momma and me splittin for me to come into my own
           Dm                                          C
But it was worth it for the way we are walking hand in hand to school alone


VERSE:
             F                    Am               Bb               Am
Gone are the days when I would be next to her, but thinking about myself
    F                Am              Bb                   C
The days when I'd be frantic for her mum to come home and help
               Bb                   Am              Bb          C
Those days are gone, those days are gone, et every witness now avow
Bb                     C               Dm
My little girl's got a full time daddy now
Bb                     C               F
My little girl's got a full time daddy now
