Daddy had a A weakness; he kept in on the D shelf  
Every time he A touched it, he turned into E someone else  
And he tried to Bm teach me wrong from right, with the A backside of his D hand  
If it wasn’t for the F#m whisky, E daddy would have D been a good A man  

He missed seeing me grow up, he missed all my D baseball games  
He missed A out on having a son, who was E proud to have his ways  
And I Bm used to hate him with all my heart, but A now I under-{D}-stand  
If it wasn’t for the F#m whisky, E daddy would have D been a good A man  

He had a good E wom-{A}-an, she E knew how to sacri-{A}-fice  
She prayed every E mom-{A}-ent for E God to change his A life  
And if Bm he would have been on mammas side, he A might have had a D chance  
If it wasn’t for the F#m whisky, E daddy would have D been a good A man  
(Oh yes he would)

He always said he loved me, but he never gave it D up  
I A know in his heart he wanted to, but E want to is never enough  
So while the Bm whiskey played the music, oh, the A devil called the D dance  
If it wasn’t for the F#m whisky, E daddy would have D been a good A man  

He had a good E wom-{A}-an, she E knew how to sacri-{A}-fice  
She prayed every E mom-{A}-ent for E God to change his A life  
And if Bm he would have been on mammas side, he A might have had a D chance  
If it wasn’t for the F#m whisky, E daddy would have D been a good A man
