Chord/Tab song: Did You See My Daddy Over There

A little boy tug[C]ged gently

[F]At a soldier's khaki [C]sleeve

He says forgive me mister

But [D7]you've been across I [G7]believe

[C]I see the purple heart you wear

[F]That tells what you've been [C]through

[F]Perhaps you know my [A7]daddy sir

[D7]Cause he's a [G7]soldier [C]too


Did you see my [F]daddy mister [C]soldier

When you were fighting over [G7]there

I thought perhaps by chance

You [C]met him there in France

Or [D7]somewhere over there

Across the [G7]sea

[C]It's been so long [F]since daddy went [C]away

My mommy longs for him both night and [G7]day

I [F]know 'twould make her glad

If [C]you had seen my dad

[F]Did you see my [G7]daddy over [C]there


The soldier's eyes grew misty

[F]As he watched the boyish [C]face

For it recalled a memory

[D7]That time can not [G7]erase

[C]A buddy lost in action

[F]The best pal he ever [C]had

[F]Till death he carried o'er his [A7]heart

[D7]A picture [G7]of this [C]lad


Did you see my [F]daddy mister [C]soldier

When you were fighting over [G7]there

I thought perhaps by chance

You [C]met him there in France

Or [D7]somewhere over there

Across the [G7]sea

[C]It's been so long [F]since daddy went [C]away

My mommy longs for him both night and [G7]day

I [F]know 'twould make her glad

If [C]you had seen my dad

[F]Did you see my [G7]daddy over [C]there
