Daddy's All Gone
James Taylor (c) 1976
I don't have much to say
Thought I'd call you up any-way
Just to try to show you the way
That I feel today
Oh, I miss you ba-by
I sure am on the road
I don't need to say much more
Just the same old well-known stranger
That I was before
It seems like yesterday now
Daddy's all gone
Only halfway home
He's holding on to the telephone
Saying, Please don't let the show go on.

There's a bus every other hour [G Am7 D C/D]
There's even the midnight train [G Am7 D C/D]
But that don't leave me the power [G Am7 D]
To see your face again [B7 Em7 ]
It's not that simple [F/C C]
You see, there's a room full of smiling faces [G Am7 D C/D]
There's a man standin' by the door [G Am7 D C/D]
Says it's time to change our places [G Am7 D]
And get down on the floor [B7 Em7 ]
Kill ', baby [ ]
Daddy's all gone [ ]
He's just halfway home [G Am7 D C/D]
He's holding on to the microphone [G Am7 D]
Singing, Please don't make the show go on. [B7 Em7 F/C C]
