Sammi Smith - The Rainbow In Daddys Eyes Chords

INTRO:  Ab  Db  Ab  Eb


VERSE:
Ab                   Db             Ab                    Eb
  On a cold and grey    October day    our family moved away
Ab                   Db       Bbm      Eb
  From a thirty acre farm in Tennessee
Ab                    Db                      Ab
  And the part for me  in the schoolhouse play  would have to wait
                   Eb        Ab
On a rainbow that only daddy would ever see.


CHORUS:
Db                Eb            Ab
 That was when my mama started praying
Db                     Ab          Bbm  Eb
Lord let him dream but make him realize                  
      Db                    Eb                 Db        Bbm
That dreams won't feed the children that we're raisin' today
    Ab            Eb               Ab   Db  Ab  Eb
Oh Lord take the rainbow from his eyes.


VERSE:
Ab                     Db            Ab               Eb
Well even after I grew older we kept waitin' for the home
Ab                  Db              Bbm   Eb
 That daddy kept on building in his mind
Ab              Db               Ab                  
  And on the day  he passed away   he took my mama's hand
                     Eb            Ab
And said honey I can make it just give me time.


CHORUS::
Db         Eb               Ab
  Jesus I pray that you'll forgive him
     Db       Ab            Bbm   Eb
For dreaming away my mama's smile 
Db                       Eb           Db       Bbm
  And Lord if there's a rainbow up in heaven today
 Ab                 Eb          Ab           Bbm  Db  Ab
Please Lord let it shine in my daddy's eyes...
