His Daughter
Recording is in F#

1)| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
Everything's gonna be alright She whispers to herself
She was only 6 years old that night As she hid behind that shelf
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
Cuz daddy had a little too much to drink
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt
But she still felt the pain

2)| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
Well 10 years they came and went And dad was gone
So she looked for love in other men And tried to act strong.
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
Oh broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see
Cuz she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something

3)| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
And as she sat there on her bed
thinkin bout what those girls said
tears streamed down her eyes
She cried
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
If there's a God out there Please hear my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared and I've got no where else to go
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
I've come a long, long way
But I'm not sure I can make it much farther      
| [G] . [Bm] . | [Am] . [C] . | 
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
| [G] . [Bm] . | [Am] . [C] . | 
To your daughter.

4)| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
Well her path started to change
She reached out and grabbed [G]od's grace
And finally, she saw a light
Until that night where
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
She decided one drink was alright and one thing led to another
Well next thing you know, 9 months go by she's a mother.
 

5)| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
And as she laid there in that bed
Stroking that small angel's head
Tears streamed from her eyes
She cried
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
If there's a God out there Please here my prayer.
I'm lost and I'm scared and I've got no where else to run
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
I've come a long, long way
But I'm not sure I can be the best mother
| [G] . [Bm] . | [Am] . [C] . | 
So if you're listening, could you give a helping hand
| [G] . [Bm] . | [Am] . [C] . | 
To your daughter.

6)| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
Well that baby grew into a boy
Who became her pride and joy
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
He loved her like no man could
And her heart felt peace, cuz she finally understood
God's love.

7)| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
So as she laid there in that bed 99 years old
She grabbed her son's hand and said
There's something you must know...
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
There is a God up there who heard my prayer
I was lost and afraid and I had no where else to go.
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
I had no clue, what to do
And then He sent me you.
| [G] . . . | [Bm] . . . | [Am] . . . | [C] . . . |
So if you're lost and afraid and you feel so alone
don't worry child
cuz there's a Father who will love you as His own
| [G] . [Bm] . | [Am] . [C] . | 
Just like he loved his daughter.
| [G] . [Bm] . | [Am] . [C] . | [G] 
Like he loved His daughter.
