Daddy Won't Be Home Again For Christmas chords by Merle Haggard

C       C7       F     D7
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
      G7                C  G7
And I just hope that this little check will fit
C       C7       F     D7
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
     G7               F    C
But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget

             C7        F    D7
The Christmas tree where I'll be won't be lighted
    G7                 C     G7
But the rain and cold will let me know December's here
C         C7       F   D7
Forgive me for the letters I don't answer
      G7                C
But I keep thinking I'll be home again each year

C       C7       F     D7
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
      G7                C  G7
And I just hope that this little check will fit
C       C7       F     D7
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
     G7               F    C
But maybe this will serve to let you know I don't forget

             C7        F        D7
I know Santa Claus won't bring you all the things you need
  G7             C   G7
But maybe he'll be kinder if he knows
C             C7        F      D7
That I won't be home this year to play the famous roll
   G7                 C
And besides I'm much to thin to wear his cloths

C       C7       F     D7
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
      G7                C  G7
And I just hope that this little check will fit
C       C7       F     D7
Daddy won't be home again for Christmas
     G7               F    C
