Thats My Job-crd  Conway Twitty



[A]I [F#m]woke[D] up [E]cr[A]ying late at night when I was very young
[D]I [A]had dr[D]eamed [E]my father had passed away and gone
[A]My w[F#m]orld[D] revo[E]lved[A] around him, I couldn't lie there anymore
So I [D]made[A] my wa[D]y down[E] the m[A]irrored hall and tapped upon his door
And I [D]sa[A]id, "D[D]addy, I[A]'m so afraid, how will I go on with you gone
t[D]ha[A]t wa[F#m]y?  Don't [E]wanna cry anymore so may I stay with you?"
Chorus:
A[D]nd he[E] s[A]aid, [D]"That'[E]s my [A]jo[D]b, that[E]'s what I do.  Everything I do is
bec[A]ause [D]of you[E], to ke[F#m]ep y[E]ou[D] safe w[E]ith me.[A]  That's my job you see."
[A]La[F#m]ter [D]we[E] b[A]arely got along, this teenage boy and he
Most [D]of[A] the fights it seems were over different dreams
[D]We[E] each held for me
[A]He[F#m] wanted [D]knowledg[E]e [A]and learning, I wanted to fly out West
S[D]ai[A]d, "I could make it out there if I just had the fare.
I[D] got ha[E]lf, [A]will you loan me the rest."
And I [D]sa[A]id[D], [A]"Daddy, I'm so afraid.  There's no guarentee in the plans
I've[D] made[A].  An[F#m]d if [E]I should fail, who will pay my way back home?"
Chorus
[C#m]    [F#m]Ever[C#m]y person [D]ca[E]rv[A]es his spot and fills the hole with light
A[D]nd I pr[F#m]ay somed[D]ay I [A]mig[E]ht light as bright as he  (is this line right?)
[A]Woke[F#m] up [D]ea[E]rl[A]y one bright fall day and spread the tragic news
After [D]all my[A] trave[D]ls I se[E]ttled down within a mile or two
[A]I [F#m]make[D] my l[E]ivin[A]g with words and rhyme and all this tragedy
Sho[D]uld g[A]o [D]into[E] my [A]head and out instead as bits of poetry
But I[D] s[A]aid, [D]"Daddy,[A] I'm so afraid, how will I go on with you gone this
way?  H[D]ow[A] can I [F#m]come [E]up with a song to say I love you.......?"
Chorus (omit He said)
[D]Everyth[E]ing I do[A] i[D]s [E]be[F#m]caus[E]e [D]of[E] y[A]ou to keep you safe with me....
