The[D] coat she wore still lies upon the[G] bed,
The[A] book I gave her that she never[D] read
She[D] left without a single word to[G] say
And her[A] father didn't like me any[D]way
She always wanted more than I could give
She wasn't happy with the way we lived
I could have felt like asking her to stay
But her father didn't like me anyway
[Chorus]
[C]Daddy never[G] knew just[D] what she saw in me
[C]Daddy didn't[G] like my[D] hair
[C]Perhaps if we had[G] talked he'd have seen [D]something in me
But[G] daddy didn't[G] really[D] care.
To tell the truth I didn't have the nerve
I know I only got what I deserved
So now she's taken leave of me today
Her haddy didn't like me anyway
[Repeat chorus and then the first verse]
