Daddy Said Phill Williams


Daddy Said.         


Phill Williams.




.




[A] Ya cant make a living out of rock and roll


Well [D] that's what my daddy said


[E] Two hundred miles from one gig to the next


[D] Drink and drugs and [A] sex




[A] The next hotel looks just like the last.


And the [D] faces all look the same


[E] A glass of wine and a mug of beer.


Is that [D] all you get for the [A] fame


.


Bridge


.


[D] Many a night in a [Daug] broken down van.




[Bm] Freezing to death in the [Bmaj]snow.


Or [E] changing a tyre in the [C] pouring down rain.


I'm [D] telling you cos you aught to [F#] know. [E]


.


Chorus


.





It's a [A] hard life to live.


It's a [D] long hard climb to the top.


It's [E] harder when you get to the peak.


It's [D] easy to let go and [A] drop




It's a [A] hard life to live.


Are you [D] sure you want to live like that?


I've been [E] there myself, driving up and down the roads.


And [D] that's what my daddy [A] said


[A] Ya cant make a living out of rock and roll.


Without [D] paying for the life you live.


[E] Jack ā€œDā€ will make you pay the toll.


The more you [D] drink the more you [A] give.


.


He [A] shook his head then he bought me a guitar.


[D] Got it from the second hand store.


He [E] drove me to the gigs and he paid for the rooms.


I guess he [D] couldn't do any [A] more




[D] Many a night in a [Daug] broken down van.


[Bm] Freezing to death in the [Bmaj] snow.


Or [E] changing a tyre in the [C] pouring down rain.


I'm [D] telling you cos you aught to [F#] know.-[E]

Re: Phill Song

The BM CHORD over the word snow show be a B - but if I change it -it screws up the chordpro format for some reason

Re: Phill Song

Thanks Jim. There seems to be a flaw in the chopro code, eg; if you write a B chord in square brackets chopro interprets it as a command to write in bold letters so it must be closed, eg: word   therefore if you want to put in B chord you must add Maj or 7th? [Gmaj] I will post the song again hopefully correctly. Fingers crossed.     Thanks for your help and putting me on the right track Jim aka tigljk

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
