Johnny Cash  - Daddy Sang Bass


[Verse 1]

     
I remember whe

n I was a lad
             
Times were har

              
d and things w

     
ere bad
              
But there's a 

              
silver linin' 

              
behind every c

 
loud
             
Just poor peop

              
le that all we

 
 were
              
Tryin' to make

             
 a livin' out 

              
of blackland e


arth
              
But we'd get t

              
ogether in a f

            
amily circle s

        
ingin' loud. .

Me and little 

             
brother would

there
              
Singin' seems 

              
to help a trou

      
bled soul
              
One of these d
