Johnny Wright - Im Doing This For Daddy Chords

[Intro]
D  A  E7  A  A7


[Refrain]
    D              A            E7         A
I'm doing this for daddy who's away in Vietnam


[Verse 1]
    A                              D               A
The bar room door swung open for a boy of eight or nine
                                                             E7
Who stood there checking faces, didn't waste much thought on mine
   A                          D          A
He saw the man and woman at a table all alone
        D                    A                 E7             A
Then he said I've come here, stranger, just to bring my mommy home


[Chorus]
    D                           A
I'm doing this for daddy who's away in Vietnam
  D                              A               E7
I know he wouldn't like it if he saw you holding mom
   A                                                      D
So I must take her home with me 'cause that's where she belongs
                   A            E7         A
I'm doing this for daddy who's away in Vietnam


[Instrumental Bridge]
D  A  E7  A  A7


[Verse 2]
    A                            D                         A
The stranger dropped his head as his pride drained through floor
                                                         E7
The child had cut him down with "don't you bother mom no more"
   A                               D                  A
So now, sir, I'll be leavin' and I must take mom, you see
    D              A              E7               A
I'm doing this for daddy, bet you he'd be proud of me


[Chorus]
    D                           A
I'm doing this for daddy who's away in Vietnam
  D                              A               E7
I know he wouldn't like it if he saw you holding mom
   A                                                      D
So I must take her home with me 'cause that's where she belongs
                   A            E7         A
I'm doing this for daddy who's away in Vietnam
