Tuning: Standard, no capo
Tempo:Slowly (90 bpm)
Just a note before the music, this song is performed by Ray Sawyer
(for non-Hook fans,guy in the band with the eye patch) and is not
an official Dr. Hook song. Try to download this tune, it is an
incredibly powerful song, I hope I was able to do it justice
(I've only been for 6 months and this is my first tab ever).
However, it is Dr. Hook so it is not complicated but some of the
finer guitar details are lost in the complexity of the song - enjoy!

Intro - (x2) (Instrumental)
-Verse 1-
She’d snuggle and talk to me
Each night as I watched TV
I’d teasingly call her chatter box
Then one night she said "don’t be scared
I see an angel on the stairs
Daddy, can you angle hear the angel talk?"
-Chorus- (chords are now strummed)
One more year of lollypops
Ice creams cones and soda pops
One more years of daddy’s little girl
One more year of cracker jacks,
bubble gum and sugar smacks.
One more year of daddy’s little girl
-Verse 2-
I took her in my arms upstairs
And as she said her night time prayers
I felt a fever burning in her head
She gave thanks for mom and me
And said I heard my angel speak
Daddy, this is what my angel said …
-Chorus-
-Verse 3-
Her faith grew strong her body weak
And soon my frightened eyes could see
There was nothing on earth that I could do
And one year later, to the day
In her sleep, she slipped away
And I knew what she said and heard was true
-Chorus-
[slow down]
E (slow downstroke for effect)
One more year of Daddy’s little girl
