this song is fnger picked. nothin too fancy but still has a real good sound.

i play the riff like this. the song sounds like it just starts without the slide but i 
like the sound of it.

(didnt put the other strings cause there is nothin played on them)

VERSE:
C                                           F
i'd love to hear my daddy playin once again
C                                       G
all the songs he taught me when i was a kid
C                                  F
john henry, ol chelly, and faded love
C                            G               C
id fall to pieces and on the wings of a dove
C                                     F
just a few chords on the bonjo, that was all he knew
C                                         G
in the eyes of a child, man his fingers flew
C                                          F
i practiced and i practiced till i got it right
C                      G                         C
i packed up everything and just took off one night

INTRO RIFF

C                                               F
i made it from the beer joints to the opera stage
C                                                   G
he said the only difference is when youre gettin payed
C                                       F
he didnt care when everybody knew my name
C                        G                        C
he said its all for nothin if you dont stay the same
C                                                           F
and when he died the preacher cried and said he's the lucky one
C                                    G
he's walkin hand in hand with god's only son
C                                                 F
my faith and common sense tell me the preachers right
C                     G                      C
id love to hear the banjoplay for me tonight


CHOROUS:
F                                                  C
and i will honor my father with these words i write down
F                                            C
and as long as i remember he'll always be around
C                                                F
and the pain of losin him cuts like a randall knife
C                            G                       C
i learned a few chords on the banjo was the key to life
C                                                F
ya the pain of loosin him cuts like a randall knife
C                         G                              C
but i learned a few chords on the banjo was the key to life
