but his [G]pride want let us [A]lend a helping [D]hand
[CHORUS]
[D]daddy's living off the [G]memories of [A]mama
[D]thats what keeps him goin [A]everyday
[D]the only trips he ever takes are [G]high upon that [D]mountain
where mama lies a [A]sleeping in the [D]shade

[D]from the porch i see a memory
he didnt have the heart to sale
and [G]thru the dust and all the rust
