BbBb Piano Chord 

A house not a home was a picture satin painted
EbEb Piano Chord 
                     BbBb Piano Chord 

For sweet little sister and me

Our daddy would frown while mother was praying
FF Piano Chord 
            BbBb Piano Chord 

His heart was so hardened that he would not believe
Bb7Bb7 Piano Chord 
       EbEb Piano Chord 
             BbBb Piano Chord 

In anger he'd swear his voice cold and loud
BbBb Piano Chord 
                                          FF Piano Chord 

His Sundays were spent out with the gamblin crowd
BbBb Piano Chord 
                       EbEb Piano Chord 
                BbBb Piano Chord 

I've never seen my daddy inside a house of God
FF Piano Chord 
              BbBb Piano Chord 

For Satin held his hand down the path of sin he trod

SOLO

BbBb Piano Chord 

Not long ago our circle was broken
EbEb Piano Chord 
                       BbBb Piano Chord 

When God called on mother one night
BbBb Piano Chord 

In a voice sweet and low her last words were spoken
FF Piano Chord 
                  BbBb Piano Chord 

Asking our daddy to raise her children right
Bb7Bb7 Piano Chord 
          EbEb Piano Chord 
          BbBb Piano Chord 

The angels rejoiced in heaven last night
BbBb Piano Chord 
                                        FF Piano Chord 

I heard my daddy praying dear God make it right
BbBb Piano Chord 
                              EbEb Piano Chord 
           BbBb Piano Chord 

He was smiling and singing with tears in his eyes
BbBb Piano Chord 
                               FF Piano Chord 
         BbBb Piano Chord 

While mother with the angels rejoiced last night
FF Piano Chord 
    EbEb Piano Chord 
   BbBb Piano Chord 

While mother with the angels rejoiced last night
