Intro:  Dm       Dm       F       C      Dm 

Dm 
Grandpa was a miner, and he gave me my black art, 
Dm 
Glittered rivers of black coal-dust tore our country apart, 
C                                                F 
Covered in coal-dust, waking up too early in the morning, 
C                                                    F     D 
Covered in coal-dust, waiting for the moment the canary sings. 

Dm 
Mama was a mermaid and a carnaby street gal, 
Dm 
She could have been a model, but she spent her life mopping up spilt milk, 
C 
Covered in sea salt, would he, could he be home  
           F                 D 
when the stars came out to party, 
C 
Covered in sea salt, yeah I know it was my fault,  
           F                      D 
but he always ran away 'cause he didn't want me. 

C                 F              D            Gm 
Oh, Daddy was a sailor, and he gave me a black heart, 
C              F              D                 Gm 
Daddy was a sailor, the only man that could tear me apart 
C       F     Dm         Gm 
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, 
C      F         D 
Daddy, Daddy, Da-a-ddy. 

Dm 
Sister dances salsa, and she cha-cha's like a Queen, 
Dm                                                                          F 
I was a non-believer when she told me I was free, 
C                               F 
Aunty Emmy was a medium, oh she worked the Ouija board. 
C                                         F              D 
Seeking out the lost souls, and taking them back to the Lord. 

C                 F              D            Gm 
Oh, but Daddy still was a sailor, and he gave me a black heart, 
C              F              D                 Gm 
Daddy was a sailor, the only man that could tear me apart 
C       F     Dm         Gm 
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, 
C       F     Dm         Gm 
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, 
C   F     Dm    Gm 
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, Ahh, 
C    Gm    F 
Ahh, Ahh a.
