E
I recall the night ...
AE
That you came into this world
B7
I couldn't believe the doctor
AE
When he said, "It's a little girl."
I said, "Now Doc you must be wrong
AE
You see I want a boy."
AE
Then he laid you in my arms
B7E
And my heart sang with joy. ...
CHORUS:
E
Daddy's Girl ... Daddy's Girl ...
AE
I'm the champ ... of Daddy's world ...
B7
I know I'm Daddy's number one
A P
For he loves me like I was his son
NCE
(* * *)(Strum 3 times) Daddy's Girl.
I recall the day I took you to a baseball game
You brought along your baby doll and half its' baby things
We sat there a-playin' house, while the Dodgers played the Braves
And ev'ryone in the bleachers, looked at us as if to say.
CHORUS:
CHANGE TO F:
FBbF
I recall the day I took you on a fishin' trip
C7BbF
You said, "Daddy won't that hook - hurt the fishes' lip?"
And you said if they don't get air
BbF
Those things in the can will die
BbF
So we turned the worms all loose
C7F
And chased some butter- flies.
CHORUS:
F
Daddy's Girl ... Daddy's Girl ...
BbF
I'm the champ ... of Daddy's world ...
C7
I know I'm Daddy's number one
Bb P
For he loves me like I was his son

(* * *)(Strum 3 times) Daddy's Girl.
I recall the day that your young man came to call
Seems like only yesterday, you swam and played football
But I know the time has come, that I must set you free
But no matter where you are, you know what you are to me.
CHORUS: (2X)
